The village lies beneath the limestone hill of Cefn-yr-Ogof (670 ft). This hill has large caves, and quarrying of limestone was formerly the main industry of the village, with crushed stone being exported from the 200 m long jetty. According to figures from the 2011 census, Llanddulas, combined with nearby village Rhyd y Foel, had a population of 1,542, with around 23% of the population having some knowledge of the Welsh language.[1] Llanddulas is notable as being the place where Richard II was betrayed in 1399.[2] and is also the birthplace of Lewis Valentine. Between 1889 and 1952 the village had its own railway station. According to legend, a cave on the mountain of Pen y Cefn was once the abode of the Devil, until the people of Llanddulas performed an exorcism at the cave to drive him away.[3] Llanddulas Limestone and Gwrych Castle Wood is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. In February 1990 a storm and high tide caused extensive flooding to the east of here, especially at Towyn and Kinmel Bay.[4][5] New coastal defence works were built along 7 miles of coast from Old Colwyn to the River Clwyd. At Llanddulas these consist of Dolos concrete shapes.
