About

Mold serves as the administrative centre of Flintshire, situated in the north-east of Wales. The town lies in the valley of the River Alyn, with the surrounding landscape characterised by the rolling hills of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its position has historically made it a significant market town for the wider rural region. The area's geography provides a distinct setting, blending town life with immediate access to protected upland scenery.

The town's layout is focused around its historic core, with St Mary's Church and the 19th-century County Hall being prominent landmarks. Daniel Owen, often regarded as the foremost Welsh-language novelist, was born and lived in Mold; a statue and centre commemorate his legacy. Weekly markets continue to be held, maintaining a traditional function. Theatr Clwyd, a major cultural venue for North Wales, is located on the town's outskirts, providing a hub for performing arts.
