Community Matters
The natural beauty of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley is astonishing. Thousands of visitors come here to gain a sense of peace and tranquility while enjoying the scenery, views and beauty.
The unique character of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB has been shaped by generations of people that have been living and working here for centuries; maintaining the habitats, utilising the resources, creating the communities and bringing the landscapes to life.
Our communities aren’t museum pieces that we look back on fondly – they are thriving and vibrant towns and villages that are as valued today as they have ever been. The AONB works with these communities to advise and offer help in continuing to make the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley the personable, welcoming location that is full of life, adventure and personality.
Find out more about our communities and some of the people that actively maintain the AONB. If you are lucky enough to live or work here, we can offer you information to make the best of your unique location, we even offer grants to projects that enhance the area via our Sustainable Development Fund.
