Kinmel Bay and Towyn
Kinmel Bay and Towyn ((ウェールズ語:Bae Cinmel a Tywyn)) is a community in Conwy County Borough, in Wales. It is located on the coast of Liverpool Bay bordering Denbighshire, from which it is separated by the River Clwyd, and is west of Rhyl, north east of Abergele and east of Conwy. As its name suggests, the community includes the holiday resorts of Kinmel Bay and Towyn. It is crossed by the Afon Gele, which flows from west to east, before joining the River Clwyd on the eastern boundary. At the 2001 census the community had a population of 7,864, increasing to 8,460 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community population 2011 )〕
The area was developed after 1793, when the Rhuddlan Marsh Commissioners were granted powers to drain the area around Towyn. In the mid 19th century, flood defences were constructed to protect the new Chester to Holyhead railway. Storm-force winds, a high tide and storm surge caused the defences to fail over a stretch in 1990, resulting in the flooding of 2,800 properties. The flood water covered . Since then a rock revetment has been constructed to protect the breached coastline, and further protective works have been carried out to the east.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.conwy.gov.uk/doc.asp?cat=7898&doc=26411&Language=1 )〕
