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. In addition, Flintshire has just become a gateway to Ireland with POSL planning to operate out of Mostyn docks.
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.
