North Wales: Places to Explore
Denbigh
This market town (market day is Wednesday) was much admired by the great English literary figure and lexicographer Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-84). A walk along the riverbank at Lawnt (a village just south of Denbigh), which he loved, brings you to a monumental urn placed in his honor. Not that it pleased him: "It looks like an intention to bury me alive," he thundered.
