    Location

    The Crown Hotel is situated in a prime location in the Denbighshire town of Corwen. This historic market town is nestled at the foot of the Berwyn Mountains in the scenic Dee Valley and is famously known as the stronghold of Owain Glyndwr, the last native Welshman to hold the title of Prince of Wales. The town serves as a fantastic rural retreat and is surrounded by many walking paths and cycling routes. Visitors enjoy Caer Drewyn Hill Fort, a 2,000 year old Iron Age hill fort which offers panoramic views of the town and mountains, as well as steam train rides on Corwen Heritage Railway. Corwen is also the perfect base from which to explore the towns of Llangollen and Bala and the majesty of Snowdonia National Park.

    The A5 links to the A483 which connects Chester to Shropshire and also links to the A494 which leads to Ruthin to the north and Snowdonia National Park to the south. Corwen train station serves the town and acts as the western terminus of the restored Llangollen Railway.
