Nantclwyd Hall is a 17th-century Grade II* listed mansion near the village of Llanelidan, Denbighshire, Wales, built by the Parry family, and rebuilt by Eubule Thelwall (c. 1622–95) and his wife Mary Parry, the heiress of the estate.

Nantclwyd railway station was a station near Nantclwyd Hall, Llanelidan, Denbighshire, Wales.

Afon y Maes is a tributary river to the Clwyd and flows through the village of Llanelidan, Denbighshire, Wales. The river starts to the south of the village and joins up to the Clwyd on land behind Nantclwyd Hall, and therefore it is a relatively short river that starts and ends in the same town.

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.

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.

Denbighshire ( DEN-bee-shər, -⁠sheer; Welsh: Sir Ddinbych [ˌsiːr ˈðɪnbɨχ]) is a county in the north-east of Wales. It borders the Irish Sea to the north, Flintshire to the east, Wrexham to the southeast, Powys to the south, and Gwynedd and Conwy to the west. Rhyl is the largest town, and Ruthin is the administrative centre. Its borders differ from the historic county of the same name. Denbighshire has an area of 326 square miles (840 km2) and a population of 95,800, making it sparsely populated. The most populous area is the coast, where Rhyl (25,149) and Prestatyn (19,085) form a single built-up area with a population of 46,267. The next-largest towns are Denbigh (8,986), Ruthin (5,461), and Rhuddlan (3,709). St Asaph (3,355) is a city. All of these settlements are in the northern half of the county; the south is even less densely populated, and the only towns are Corwen (2,325) and Llangollen (3,658). The geography of Denbighshire is defined by the broad valley of the River Clwyd, which is surrounded by rolling hills on all sides except the north, where it reaches the coast. The Vale of Clwyd, the lower valley, is given over to crops, while cattle and sheep graze the uplands. The Clwydian Range in the east is part of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This part of Wales contains the country's oldest known evidence of habitation – Pontnewydd (Bontnewydd-Llanelwy) Palaeolithic site has Neanderthal remains of some 225,000 years ago. The county is also home to several medieval castles, including Castell Dinas Brân, Denbigh, and Rhuddlan, as well as St Asaph Cathedral. Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod takes place in the town each July.
