User:Joeblakesley/Bay of Colwyn

The Bay of Colwyn is a non-statutorily-defined area within the county borough of Conwy in North Wales covering three coastal communities centred around the postal town of Colwyn Bay and administered by a single community council.

roughly co-terminous withi the former municpal borough of Colwyn (later replaced by the district of the same name uinvcluding more inland areas). These communties cover the coastal stretch between the actual bay (or body of water) of Colwyn between the headlands of Rhos Point and Penmaenhead and the borders of the geographically vast, rural community of Betwys-yn-Rhos, the very small, inland community of Mochdre and the tiny protuberance of the large coastal Llandudno community encompassing Bryn Pydew and llangwystenin. around 2 sqs (.5km)

Body of water
The geomorphological bay or body of water, Colwyn Bay or the Bay of Colwyn, forms part of a clearer bay between the Great Orme's head in Llandudno and to the Point of Ayr in Talacre as well as part of the much larger and unequivocal Liverpool Bay, all within the Irish Sea (lying between the islands of Ireland and Great Britain in the North Altlantic Ocean). The bay is known for one of the furthest out breaches in the UK.

Bay of Colwyn Town Council
Bay of Colwyn Town Council is a community council whose area of adminstration is co-terminous with the Bay of Colwyn. As well as the community of Colwyn Bay (made up of the Glyn and Rhiw electoral divsions, the latter inlcuding the West End and Colwyn Heights subrubs), the area includes two communities: Old Colwyn (Eirias and Colwyn elecotorla divsions), a town to the east of Colwyn Bay which predates the amin town, and Rhos on Sea, a town (now argubably suburb) to the west of Colwyn Bay, both of which are considered outlying towns of Colwyn Bay. There are many villages (especially inland) and the town of Abergele in the former Colwyn district which outly COlwyn Bay but these are not inlcuded in the Bay of Colwyn. In a loose sense, Mochdre and Llysfaen might also be included in the Bay, although both have their own community councils and are as close to the neighbouring major towns of Llandudno Junction and Abergele respectively, as to Colwyn Bay. The community of Mochdre lies inland 1sq (1/4 km?) at its msot seward point, while the community of Llysfaen does not include Penmaenrhos therefore only forms a border with the sea just east of the headland of Penmaenhead which defines the extent of the actual bay the and associated continuous strecth of beach of Colwyn.
