About

Holywell East ward encompasses a residential area on the eastern side of the town of Holywell in Flintshire. The ward is characterised by a mix of housing types, including terraced streets and semi-detached homes, set on the lower slopes of Halkyn Mountain. Local amenities and community facilities serve the neighbourhood, with the broader town centre accessible nearby. The area maintains a quiet, settled atmosphere distinct from the busier central commercial zones.

The geography is defined by its position below the limestone uplands, offering views across the Dee Estuary towards the Wirral. A notable local feature is the historic St Winefride's Well and its associated pilgrimage site, which lies just to the west of the ward boundary. Green spaces and footpaths connect the area to the surrounding countryside, providing access to the wider North Wales landscape. The ward functions primarily as a residential community within the larger town.
