Flintshire

Flintshire spans 169 square miles across the River Dee estuary, extending from industrial zones in the east to the Clwydian Range hills in the west.

The territory received its name from the historic county established by the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284, when Edward I completed his conquest of northern Wales.

The region maintains strong industrial traditions with manufacturing plants including Toyota and Airbus, while preserving Welsh language education through dedicated schools.

The North Wales Coast Line connects Flintshire stations to Liverpool and Wrexham, with regular services from Flint and Shotton throughout the day.

The Deceangli Celtic tribe left evidence of their presence through lead workings, with discovered artifacts bearing their name in Roman inscriptions.
