St Asaph

St Asaph is best known within Wales for its cathedral, the historic seat of the Diocese of St Asaph. The compact city stands on the River Elwy in the Vale of Clwyd, between the Clwydian Range and the North Wales coast. St Asaph Cathedral has medieval origins, is dedicated to the Welsh saint Asaph, and remains the focal point of the city centre. It is also associated with Bishop William Morgan, whose 1588 translation of the Bible into Welsh was a landmark in the language’s literary history. Rhuddlan Castle and the Irish Sea coast add further historic and coastal context to this corner of northeast Wales. Browse other webcams across Wales to place St Asaph in a wider geographic context.
