Druid(Welsh:Y Ddwyryd) is a small village inDenbighshire,Wales.The village is located where theA5and theA494meet, about two miles west ofCorwenand near the boundary withGwynedd.
The name is an anglicisation of the Welsh name Y Ddwyryd (lit. 'the Two Fords') from its position nearby two fords, one on theRiver Ceirw,which runs into the River Dee lower down the valley, and the other on a small stream flowing into that river. It has no connection to Druidic history or folk lore.
