The North Wales Life supplement associated with Cheshire Life features two pages on Rhuthun. Written by Katy Morgan of Fishcake Media, 'The Jewel of the Vale' is possibly the most effective 700 words of promotion for Rhuthun we’ve ever seen. Of all the articles in the 32 page lifestyle glossy, the feature on Rhuthun stands out as by far the best. Rhuthun’s portrayed as almost too good to be true. And at less than an hour from Chester, we trust it will have a real and lasting impact on visitor numbers.Heritage and independent shopping feature strongly within. It’s slightly disappointing, perhaps, that only Leonardo’s, Grosvenor Florists and Sweetie Heaven get individual mentions but then again these are the leading retailers who along with Fishcake are trying to attract people to the town. Nantclwyd-y-Dre and yr Hen Garchar/Old Gaol rightly feature too and the picture would become complete with some mention of the soon-to-be opened craft centre, Welsh language heritage, country & produce markets and even the Picture House.
See for yourself if you agree about the quality of the article. You’ll find the magazine at a number of outlets in the town. It's free or if it isn't no one charged me for mine.
