PRESTATYN & MELIDEN

Prestatyn is the gateway to the North Wales coastal area, and the most easterly of the beautiful North Wales coastal resorts. The Town Centre is nestled between magnificent sandy beaches and a spectacular hillside, where mountain air meets salty sea breezes. Uniquely sited with its "shield" of hills and mountains, Prestatyn boasts a distinctly favourable climate all of its own.
It not only boasts the start (or end) of the Offa’s Dyke National Trail but also features the North Wales Path, Clwydian Way and many circular way marked walking routes for all abilities. The area is rich in history and the surrounding countryside offers walks in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, nature reserves and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Prestatyn & Meliden was the first community in Wales to be awarded Walkers are Welcome in June, 2007.
The town is well served by public transport and the town is in the process of major regeneration, strengthening its reputation as a place to visit and walk.
