Nested among the bustling town of Rhyl is a tale as old as the town itself that’s been woven into the fabric of the town’s identity – the tale of the Enchanted Sandhorse. Rhyl, a seaside resort nestled in the county of Denbighshire, holds this mystical creature as part of its ancient lore. The story begins with the creation of a beautiful sand sculpture depicting a gigantic horse on the town’s beach by a mysterious local artist. However, when the tides came in and washed the sculpture away, local witnesses claimed seeing a real horse emerging from the spot where the sculpture once was, and then galloping off into the sea. Since then, during moonlit nights when the sea is calm and at peace, a ghostly silhouette of a horse can still be seen galloping along the beach and disappearing into the waves. Some say it’s the spirit of the horse that was sculpted, yet others believe it to be the soul of the mysterious artist embodied in the horse. While the origins of this folklore and the artist remain a mystery, it’s a belief that dwells deep in the hearts of the Rhyl residents. The Enchanted Sandhorse of Rhyl is not just a story, but a glimpse into a mystical world, incorporating the most natural aspects of Rhyl – the sand and the sea – into an eternal local legend.
