A national park has been proposed to replace the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB in the north-east of Wales. Proposals for the then Clwydian Range AONB, established in 1985, to become a national park were first raised in 2010. In the 2021 Senedd election, Welsh Labour committed to establishing Wales' fourth national park in the north-east. Following Labour forming the next Welsh Government, the government commissioned Natural Resources Wales to develop proposals for the new national park.
The national park is hoped to be established before the next Senedd election in 2026, with further consultations to take place in 2024 and 2025.
In December 2023, Powys County Council rejected proposals for the national park to extend into Powys.
