The North Wales village of Rhyd y Foel can be found about a mile inland from junction 23 of the A55 coast road.
It lies in a valley and is dominated by the bronze age hillfort of Pen y Corddyn which was also home to the Romans.
The Methodist movement flourished here and Salem chapel stands witness to this and as a consequence the village has never had a public house.
