Corwen is a small market town and community in Denbighshire, Wales, set in the attractive Dee Valley on the banks of the River Dee at the foot of the Berwyn hills. It has a long market-town history and a strong link to Owain Glyndŵr, whose association with the area is commemorated locally.
The local economy is largely agricultural with independent shops and a growing tourism trade - walkers, riders and heritage-rail visitors are drawn to the surrounding uplands and the nearby preserved railway. Community life is distinctly Welsh and bilingual, with local events and a tight-knit civic spirit that reflects its rural setting and historic roots.
