Flintshire

Lying alongside the waterways of the River Dee, Deeside presents a quintessential glimpse of life in North Wales, with numerous nature parks, shopping centres and rural villages providing plenty of opportunities to get out and explore.

With humble beginnings in the Bronze Age and later as a centre of coal mining, Mold in Flintshire is quite a remarkable place. Its location close to the Clwydian Range of mountains and proximity to two international airports has turned this gem of a historic market town into a popular tourist destination.

Situated on the western shores of the Dee Estuary, Holywell is a traditional Welsh market town filled with family run stores, ancient heritage sites and picturesque parks. Surrounded by several smaller villages and separated communities, this area of Flintshire was once a hot bed of traditional Welsh industries with lead, cotton and copper production all helping to increase the population to the 5000 strong that you'll find today.
