Tremeirchion (Welsh: Dymeirchion previously known as Lleweni) is a small residential community located outside of Denbigh, Wales.

The town was part of the traditional lands of the Salusbury Family and the Cotton Baronets. It was dominated by these two families until the early part of the twentieth century. It briefly became well known during the fin de siècle after a series of dinosaur bones were found in the area. The town does not possess a shop or any other commercial activity although one pub, the Salusbury Arms, operates daily with the exception of Sunday.

[edit] Demographics

In 2001, the town had a population of 1,589 people. Residents in this community had a median household income of £32,400 as of 2006, and 8.9% of residents claimed some sort of disability payment from the government. As of 2001, 2.64% of residents were immigrants.

[edit] Education

The community is served by a small primary school, Ysgol Tremeirchion. The majority of secondary school students attend classes in larger regional schools located in St. Asaph or Denbigh.
