| Tourist attractions
The Hiraethog area is not just about mountain biking! There is a whole host of local tourist attractions for all tastes. An area steeped in history, visits to places such as Ruthin Gaol or Dinas Bran Castle provide a fascinating insight into times gone by, whereas the historic market towns of Ruthin, Denbigh and home of the famous International Eisteddfod, Llangollen, add their own unique flavour to the area.
