east of the Vale of Clwyd, spanning the Denbighshire and Flintshire boundary in North Wales,
designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty in 1985.
Since November 2011, the AONB has been extended southwards
into Wrexham Borough, to include Chirk and the Dee valley westwards to Llangollen,
encompassing the World Heritage Site, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal.
The south extension included the town of Corwen, historical landmarks such as Valle Crucis Abbey,
and natural features of Eglwyseg Escarpment, Horseshoe Pass and Esclusham Mountain.
