Abergele Walk: Town Centre & Beach【4K】

Located on the north coast of Wales, in Conwy County Borough, and around 30 miles west of the England-Wales border, is the town of Abergele. The town's name comes from Welsh for 'mouth of the River Gele'. The river's name in turn derives from Welsh 'gelau', meaning spear or blade. It originally fed into the sea, but following the Rhuddlan Marsh embankment act of 1794, it was diverted eastwards, becoming a tributary of the River Clwyd. A settlement pre-dating the Roman era is believed to have existed here. The Romans constructed a road between Chester and Holyhead passing through this area, and likely had a significant presence here. Since the 8th century, a church has existed here. It was also the site of a Celtic monastery at one point. In 1294 Edward I is said to have stayed here during his suppression of the revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn. At the heart of the town is the Church of St Michael. This dates back to the 13th century, with additions up to the 15th century and some 19th century restoration. Abergele thrived during the Industrial Revolution due to the demand for raw materials, such as lead and limestone which were mined and quarried here. Interest in the area grew around the same time due to the rise in popularity of sea bathing, coupled with the restrictions that came with the Napoleonic wars in terms of travelling to continental Europe. The coming of the railway in the mid 19th century brought further growth still. Between 1812 and 1822 Gwrych Castle was built. Located a mile west of Abergele town centre, its construction was ordered by Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh as a memorial to his mother’s ancestors, the Lloyds of Gwrych. This Grade I listed country house is situated in around 250 acres of gardens and grounds. In its heyday it had over 100 rooms. During the Second World War, it housed around 200 Jewish refugee children as part of the Kindertransport programme. But by the 1980s, it had become a ruin. In 2018 the castle was sold to the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust, and is in the process of being restored. It gained publicity after becoming the location for the 2020 and 2021 series of 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'. In 1848 the railway arrived in Abergele courtesy of the Chester and Holyhead Railway. Initially the station was known as, simply, 'Abergele', but was later renamed to 'Abergele and Pensarn', with the latter referencing the northern suburb of Pensarn, which is essentially the seaside area of the town in which the station itself is situated. Today, it is located on the North Wales Coast Line which links Crewe in England to Holyhead on the Welsh island of Anglesey. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
