The Vale of Clwyd is a tract of low-lying ground in Denbighshire, in northeastern Wales, extending south-southwest from the Irish Sea coast for about 20 miles and forming a triangle of low ground bounded on its eastern side by the scarp of the Clwydian Range and on the west by numerous low hills. The River Clwyd, which rises within Clocaenog Forest southwest of Denbigh, runs the full length of the vale and is joined by the tributaries of the River Clywedog and River Elwy on its left bank and the smaller River Wheeler on its right bank.
