Nantglyn | Denbigh Denbighshire | LL16 5RG

Nantglyn Denbigh This has to be one of the finest 17th Century properties around! The property over the past few years has been subject to refurbishment programme that has covered almost every inch, as well as attention to the grounds. The property is a registered smallholding and has been used as an equestrian home. Although the hard-standings could have a multi- tude of uses. There is plenty of pasture land, in addition to the gardens, which feature a mountain stream. Situated in a picturesque and secluded location close to the top of a no through road in the Upper Valley of the River Llwyn, the property is only a mile and a half from the village of Nantglyn and around seven miles from Denbigh itself. The property is also of historic signifi- cance, having been home to David Samuel who between 1776 and 1779 sailed around the world with Captain James Cook on board HMS Resolution.

Whilst David Samuel might have taken a voyage to the South Sea’s all those years ago we recommend you take a journey to Nantglyn to absorb and experience the quiet and splendour of this property and location.

Nantglyn is a small village and community in Denbighshire, Wales. The population of the community taken at the 2011 cen- sus was 323. It is situated in a rural location about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) away from the nearest town, Denbigh. Nantglyn is located on a small river, the Lliwen. This river and its parent, the Afon Ystrad, provided the water to power several corn and fulling mills in the parish. According to tradition, a monastery was founded here by Mordeyrn, grandson of Cunedda Wledig. The community includes the hamlet of Soar. Amenities: The parish church is dedicated to St James. It was extensively renovated in 1777 and again in Victorian times. A notable feature of its churchyard is the "pulpit in a tree" built into an ancient yew, which traditionally was once used by John Wesley. A memorial to the fallen of the two World Wars sits at the centre of the village. Recent History: There are now no shops remaining in Nantglyn. But previously there was a blacksmith's forge, a post office, a pub and a leather-craft shop that also sold candles (located in the old smithy).

There were also several Nonconformist chapels in the village, including Capel-y-Waen (Waen Nantglyn is a secondary settlement about a mile north- west of the main village), Capel Soar and Capel Salem.
