The Berwyn range (Welsh: Y Berwyn or Mynydd y Berwyn) is an isolated and sparsely-populated area of moorland located in the north-east of Wales, roughly bounded by Llangollen in the north-east, Corwen in the north-west, Bala in the south-west, and Oswestry in the south-east. It is famously known for its alleged 1974 UFO crash known as the Berwyn Mountain UFO incident. The Berwyn range also played its part in causing King Henry II to turn back during his invasion of Gwynedd in 1165. Rather than taking the usual route along the northern coastal plain, his army invaded from Oswestry and took a route over the Berwyns. The invasion faced an alliance of Welsh princes, but there was no fighting - endless days of heavy rain forced the army to retreat.
