Clocaenog is a sparsely populated upland parish in Denbighshire, Wales, dominated by rolling moorland and the large conifer plantings of Clocaenog Forest. The landscape is a mix of forestry and pastoral farmland, offering extensive walking and wildlife-watching opportunities amid quiet lanes and scattered hamlets.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still centres on sheep and cattle farming with forestry providing seasonal work, while a small but resilient community maintains Welsh-language traditions and chapel and church heritage; it’s a place prized for its remoteness, night skies and outdoor recreation rather than urban amenities.
