Abergele and Pensarn Visitor
Beginning in the 1860s, the Abergele visitor was the premier newspaper of the central portion of north Wales for nearly 150 years. It provides an in-depth analysis of politics, social and cultural life in Wales during a tumultuous period of change. A must for all social and cultural historians.

The Abergele & St Asaph Visitor was a weekly freesheet newspaper distributed to homes in Abergele in Conwy on the North Wales coast, and to St Asaph in Denbighshire and smaller villages along the valley of the River Elwy (Llanfair Talahaiarn, Llangernyw, Llannefydd).
It was founded as the Abergele & Pensarn Visitor in 1861 and kept that title until 1936, when it became simply the Abergele Visitor. It added & St Asaph in 1997.It was published by Trinity Mirror North Wales as part of a series together with the Rhyl & Prestatyn Visitor and came out on Wednesdays.
It vanished when the Rhyl & Prestatyn Visitor was renamed the Denbighshire Visitor in 2008 and expanded its circulation area to include St Asaph and the rest of Denbighshire.
