Get Abergele pros

Abergele is a community and modest market town. The symbolism of the name Abergele can be appreciated by ‘aber’ being the Welsh word which means estuary, and ‘Gele’ the name of the river that runs through the town. Gele is a dialectal form of gelau, which means spear, believed to be characterising the motion of the river cutting through the land. It has also been suggested that this river is named because its waters shimmer brilliantly. The town is situated on the north coast of Wales between the holiday resorts of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, in Conwy County Borough. Its northern residential area of Pensarn is located on the Irish Sea coast and is famous for its beach, where it is alleged by some that a ghost ship has been spotted. Abergele and Pensarn train stations provide services to both resorts. The town itself lies on the A55 road and is known for Gwrych Castle.
