Clwyd ( KLOO-id, Welsh: [ˈklʊɨd]) is a preserved county of Wales, situated in the north-east corner of the country; it is named after the River Clwyd, which runs through the area. To the north lies the Irish Sea, with the English ceremonial counties of Cheshire to the east and Shropshire to the south-east. Powys and Gwynedd lie to the south and west respectively. Clwyd also shares a maritime boundary with Merseyside along the River Dee. Between 1974 and 1996, a slightly different area had a county council, with local government functions shared with six district councils. In 1996, Clwyd was abolished, and the new principal areas of Conwy County Borough, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham County Borough were created; under this reorganisation, "Clwyd" became a preserved county, with the name being retained for certain ceremonial functions. This area of north-eastern Wales has been settled since prehistoric times; the Romans built a fort beside a ford on the River Conwy, and the Normans and Welsh disputed the territory. They built their castles at strategic locations as they advanced and retreated, but in the end England prevailed, and Edward I conquered the country in 1282. The Laws in Wales Act 1535 incorporated Wales under the English Crown and made it subject to English law. Traditionally, agriculture was the mainstay of the economy of this part of Wales, but with the Industrial Revolution, the North Wales Coalfield was developed and parts of eastern Clwyd around the Dee estuary and Wrexham became industrialised. The advent of the railway running from Chester along the North Wales coast in the mid-19th century made it easy for urban dwellers from Lancashire and Cheshire to visit the seaside towns of North Wales.

Rhyd-y-Marchogion was a farm in Llanelidan, Denbighshire. The farmhouse, attached cartshed, and garden wall as well as the farmyard buildings are Grade II listed buildings. Both the farmhouse and the farmyard buildings have now been converted into two separate homes. The name translates literally as "Ford of the Knights". As the Hesbin river flows alongside some of the farmyard buildings, the name implies that knights on horseback used to cross the river at a shallow point nearby. At one time four roads met near the farm gate, and it is unclear whether there was just one or two fords as the Hesbin now runs under B5429 (road) and it is also possible to walk through the river in another direction, following what is now an abandoned trackway. Nearby is the hamlet of Rhyd-y-Meudwy ("Ford of the Hermit"). William Jones (pen name: Ehedydd Iâl) wrote the popular Welsh hymn, Er nad yw 'nghnawd ond gwellt (Literal translation: Though my flesh is nothing but straw) from under a tree in the orchard of Rhyd-y-Marchogion during a heavy storm of thunder and lightning.

Llannerch (sometimes spelled Llanerch) was a commote in the cantref of Dyffryn Clwyd which later became the Marcher Lordship of Ruthin. Situated in an area south of Ruthin the commote covered an area of 9,000 acres (14 sq mi; 3,600 ha) which included the parishes of Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd and Llanelidan and 19 townships. Much of the land within the commote was owned by the Bishopric of Bangor.The commote was abolished when the English system of counties was introduced to north Wales under the provisions of the Act of Union 1536 and the area became part of the county of Denbighshire. Llannerch is known as the home of the poet, Gruffydd ap Ieuan ap Llywelyn Fychan. He had four children including the poets Catrin ferch Gruffudd ap Ieuan ap Llywelyn Fychan and Alis ferch Gruffudd ab Ieuan ap Llywelyn Fychan, known as Alis Wen. The name was maintained with the building of Llannerch Hall in the 16th century.
