Having a mainly local day to where we were staying Wales we headed into the quaint town of Ruthin, we parked closed to the attraction (£3 all day parking, bargain). We were greeted by two lovely staff who explained about the Goal/Jail, the kids got a quiz, which meant that us adults could wander round with the very informative audio guide, lots of activities and hands on experience, we were not pressed for time and we enjoyed all the aspects of the jail (upstairs you are limited to how far you can go as the building is used as local council archives) though the glassed divider still gives you a great idea of how it would have been, the children 7 and 10 enjoyed the experience of the jail and would happily go back and visit again. A great attraction and reasonable priced entry fee.

Church of St Peter

The Collegiate and Parochial Church of St Peter is the Anglican parish church of Ruthin, an ancient market town which lies within the Vale of Clwyd in Denbighshire, north east Wales. It is a greater church of the diocese of St Asaph and a Grade I listed building.

I visited this one afternoon and then returned on Sunday morning for the early 'said' Mass. The people were very friendly and the Church is lovely. Well worth a stop to look at it and see the organ!

Beautiful tribute to still the only Welsh driver to have competed in Formula 1 and to have won a race.
