Abergele
Abergele is a community and compact market town. The meaning of the name Abergele can be appreciated by 'aber' being the Welsh word which means estuary, and 'Gele' the name of the river which goes through the town. Gele is a colloquial form of gelau, which means spear, assumed to be characterising the motion of the river traversing the land. It has even been suggested that this river is named due to the fact that its waters sparkle brilliantly. The town is located on the north coast of Wales between the holiday retreats of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, in Conwy County Borough. Its northern suburban area of Pensarn lies on the Irish Sea coast and is famous for its beach, where it is alleged by some that a ghost ship has been sighted. Abergele and Pensarn railway stations provide services to both resorts. The town itself lies on the A55 road and is known for Gwrych Castle. The town is encircled by woodland covered hillsides, which contain caves with uncommon lesser horseshoe bats. The tallest hill is Moelfre Isaf (1040 ft) to the south of the town. There are in addition exceptional views from Cefn-yr-Ogof, which measures 669 ft, Tower Hill, which is 587 ft, and Castell Cawr (known locally as Tan-y-Gopa) which is 189 metres (620 feet). Castell Cawr is an Iron Age hillfort, and among several in the region. Dinorben hillfort to the east of town was ruined in the 1980s. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of roughly 10577 people. Within this population, about 29% possess a substantial knowledge of Welsh.
