Ruthin
Ruthin is the county town of Denbighshire in north Wales and a neighborhood in the southern part of the Vale of Clwyd. The older town, the castle and St Peter's Square lie on a hillside, yet lots of more recent parts in the flood plain of the River Clwyd. This emerged several times in the late 1990s-- flood-control jobs setting you back £ 3 million were completed in fall 2003. Ruthin is skirted by villages such as Pwllglas and also Rhewl. The name comes from the Welsh words rhudd (red) and hullabaloo (fort), reflecting the colour of the sandstone bedrock, of which the castle was built in 1277-- 1284. The original name was Castell Coch yng Ngwern-fôr (Red Castle in the Sea Swamps). The mill is nearby. Maen Huail is a registered ancient monument credited to the bro of Gildas and also King Arthur, located outside Barclays Bank in St Peter's Square. The population at the 2001 Census was 5,218, of whom 47 per cent were male as well as 53 per cent woman. The average age of the population was 43.0 years and the population is 98.2 per cent "white". According to the 2011 census, 68 per cent were born in Wales and 25 per cent in England. Welsh speakers represent 42 per cent of the town's population.
