Bodelwyddan is a small village in Denbighshire, Wales, sitting just inland from the North Wales coast and close to the A55, between Rhyl and Abergele. It’s best known for the striking 19th‑century country house and grounds of Bodelwyddan Castle and the nearby St Margaret's Church (the Marble Church), both prominent local landmarks on a ridge above the surrounding farmland.

Today the village combines a quiet residential community with a modest tourist trade driven by the castle, occasional events and easy access to coastal resorts; many residents commute to nearby towns. Historic architecture, parkland walks and a strong sense of local identity make Bodelwyddan a characterful stop for visitors exploring the northern Welsh countryside.
