Abergele is a market town set back from the coast, with Market Street at its centre and the ground rising sharply behind it. Tower Hill stands five hundred and eighty-three feet above the sea, with what is said to be an Elizabethan watchtower on top and the coast laid out below. Holiday accommodation in Abergele puts you in a market town back from the coast, with a hill walk.

Gwrych Castle is the main thing to see here, and the grounds alone, two hundred and forty acres of hillside and woodland, are worth the walk. Most people know it from television, because it stood in for the Australian jungle when I’m a Celebrity was filmed there.
Building began in 1819 for Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh, on the wooded hill at the western edge of the town. It was never a real castle. He built it as a memorial to his mother’s family, the Lloyds of Gwrych, and it is one of the earliest attempts in Europe at copying medieval building properly.
Between 1939 and 1941 it housed two hundred Jewish refugee children brought to Britain by the Kindertransport rescue scheme and looked after by the Bnei Akiva Jewish youth movement. After the war it opened to the public as the Showplace of Wales, closed in 1985 and fell into ruin. The Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust bought it in 2018 and has been rebuilding it since.
Tower Hill, behind Market Street, is well worth the walk for a view along the coast, and you can play the eighteen-hole parkland course at Abergele Golf Club.
You can walk down to the beach at Pensarn in about ten minutes, and the promenade runs the length of it. The station on the coast line puts Chester and Llandudno within easy reach without a car.
Llandudno is twenty minutes west, Rhyl eight miles east with Prestatyn just beyond, and the hills behind the town are a few minutes out of it.
