Rhyl is a seaside town on the Irish Sea, in the county of Denbighshire (within the preserved county of Clwyd, and formally the historic county of Flintshire), northeast Wales, at the mouth of the River Clwyd (Welsh: Afon Clwyd). To the west is the suburb of Kinmel Bay, with the resort of Towyn further west, Prestatyn to the east and Rhuddlan to the south.
Rhyl has long been a popular tourist destination for people all over the North West of England as well as those living in Wales. With good transport links Rhyl is more accessible now than it has ever been, providing all cities and Ireland with main road routes.
Once an elegant Victorian resort, there was an influx of people from Liverpool and Manchester after World War II changing the face of the town. The area had declined dramatically by 1990, but has since improved due to a series of regeneration projects bringing in major investment. European funding, secured by the Welsh Assembly Government, has produced millions for the development of Rhyl's seafront.
Rhyl's most famous landmark was the original Pavilion, an ornate building with five domes, which was demolished in the 1970s. Rhyl's top attractions on the West Parade are the 250-foot high Sky Tower, which opened in 1989.
Rhyl Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl Droed Y Rhyl) is a Welsh football club, playing in the Welsh Premier League.
The club was founded in 1882 and the team has played its home matches at Belle Vue, Rhyl.
The origin of the name "Rhyl" is not fully known. However, the name appears in old documents variously as Hyll (1506), Hull (1508), [Leidiart] yr Hyll (1597), Rhil (1706), Rhûl (1749), Rhul (1773) Rhyll (1830), and Rhyl (1840), all of which are variations (and some anglicizations) of an uncertain original form. One suggestion is that Y Rhyl derives from (Yr) Hyll; however the softening of final ll to l would be exceptional as would the blunt epithet as a placename. Other unsubstantiated and improbable suggestions have been made that it might derive from the similar sounding Yr Hill (as in "The Hill") or Yr Heol (The Street).
