About

Connah's Quay's Wepre ward is situated on the western bank of the River Dee estuary, bordering the town of Shotton. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing estates and older terraced homes. It contains several local schools and community facilities, serving its population.

This wooded country park with its stream and trails provides a strong contrast to the surrounding urban and industrial landscape. The park's historical features and natural setting are a central resource for the local community, offering walking routes and recreational space away from the estuary's developed waterfront.
