Flintshire is a county in the north east of Wales. It borders Cheshire, Denbighshire and Wrexham. It is pressed against the Welsh border so has easy access to England and some of its central cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.
The most famous part of Flintshire is probably Broughton which is where the Airbus A330 and A380 wings are made. The largest towns in Flintshire are Connah's Quay, Holywell and Mold.
Flint was the original county town of the Flintshire area and is renowned for its castle that was the first to be built by King Edward I during his reign in the 13th century. St. Winefride's Well is a place of pilgrimage because it is believed to perform miracles on people when they submerge themselves in the water.
Caerwys is another fascinating location to visit as it rests in the Clwydian Range of hills and is reputed to be the smallest town in Britain. Greenfield Valley Heritage Park is a 70 acre country park that comprises of woodlands, ancient monuments and reservoirs. It is situated near to the historic market town of Holywell.
