About

Leeswood ward lies in the southeastern part of Flintshire, bordering Wrexham County Borough. The area is characterised by a mix of residential settlements and open countryside, with its landscape shaped by former mining and industrial activity. The community is centred around the villages of Leeswood and Pontblyddyn, which provide local services and facilities for residents.

A notable local landmark is the distinctive red brick arch of the former Leeswood Green Colliery, which stands as a remnant of the area's industrial heritage. Much of the surrounding land consists of farmland and wooded areas, including parts of the Nant-y-Ffrith woodland.
