We actually have two butchers, a baker and a candlestick-maker, well a candle workshop at least, at Corwen Manor. In fact, the town has every retail need for the traveller and tourist; an off-license, a pharmacy, a deli, a greengrocers, a florist, a mini-supermarket and a late night shop, not to mention an HSBC and NatWest branch and a full-service Post Office. You can even get a personalised souvenir at Pink Lizards.

In fact, with its two hairdressers, veterinary surgery and pet supplies shop, shoeshop, clothes shops and even a fancy-dress outfitter, Corwen is a genuine centre for all the outlying communities around the town – from Cynwyd and Llandrillo in the West, Gwyddelwern and Bryn Eglwys to the North and both Carrog and Glyndyfrdwy to the East.

Situated near to the town centre, the War Memorial Park offers a variety of sports and recreation activities, and is the home of the local football, cricket, rugby, bowls and tennis clubs.
