Flint tourist information
Historic Flint is the site of the first castle built by the prolific Edward I. Dating from 1277, its impressive ruins still loom over the River Dee in what was a crucial defensive position. The castle also features in the Shakespeare play Richard II, being where the king finally surrendered to Henry IV in 1399.
The town today is a mainly modern centre with plenty of amenities and shops.
Just along the coast towards the town of Connahs Quay is the amazing modern engineering of the Flintshire Bridge, a cable-stayed edifice linking Wales with England across the Dee estuary.
