About

Holywell sits in northern Flintshire and grew around St Winefride's Well, a medieval pilgrimage spring housed in a chapel in the town centre. The well has drawn visitors for centuries and is regarded locally as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. Nearby Greenfield Valley preserves mill buildings and watercourses that once powered local industry, and paths follow the valley between town streets and open spaces. The town retains shops, a market and community facilities that serve surrounding villages.

Bagillt lies on the Dee estuary to the west of Holywell and stretches along the shoreline where saltmarsh and reclaimed industrial ground meet housing terraces. The village has a history of lead and coal working, with traces of that past in spoil tips and former works along the coastal fringe. Local routes link Bagillt to neighbouring towns and to the estuary shore; birdlife on the mudflats and the tidal channel are part of everyday views for residents. Community groups maintain halls, sports clubs and volunteer projects that focus on local heritage.
