Flintshire/Sir Fflint (Mold, Flint, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Connah's Quay, Holywell,
Buckley, St Asaph)
The county of Flintshire is situated in
North East Wales. Cheshire lies to the east, Denbighshire to the
West and Wrexham to the south. Flint and Mold are the main town
areas.
It is an area rich in history and well worth visiting in its own
right. However, the numerous attractions of North Wales in general
coupled with Roman Chester make this an idea tourist base.
Flintshire itself has long and
distinctive heritage. It boasts numerous historic landmarks
including industrial and religious sites. It was established in
1284, some seven years after King Edward 1 ordered work to begin on
Flint Castle on a site of fierce battles between the Celts and
Romans, British and Saxons, Welsh and Normans, which overlooked the
Dee estuary.
Flint market can be dated back to a
'Charter' granted, on 4th February 1278, one year after King Edward
I had defeated Llewelyn in the wars between the English and the
Welsh.
