Mold, County town in Flintshire, Wales.
Mold is a town in Flintshire, Wales, featuring a town center with stone buildings and local independent shops. The place is known for hosting the largest street market in North Wales on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which draws shoppers from across the area.
A castle was built here around 1140 during the Anglo-Norman period and faced multiple attacks in the following decades. Welsh rulers sought to control the fortification until it was captured in 1201.
The town's performing arts scene centers on Theatr Clwyd, which brings theater productions and cultural events to the community. This venue serves as a gathering place for people interested in contemporary and traditional performances.
The town has regular bus connections to nearby cities, making it easy to travel to and from the area. There are accommodation options within the town, and its location works well for exploring the wider region.
A remarkable gold cape was discovered in the 1830s, crafted from a single sheet of metal, and stands as one of the most impressive Bronze Age metalwork pieces in Europe. This find reveals the skill and wealth of the people who once lived in this area.
