  6. Deiniol's Ash Farm, a lovely, just-creepy-enough Tudor manor house at Mancot in #Flintshire, was haunted by the forlorn phantom of Rebecca, who died of a broken heart after her boyfriend was packed off on the Grand Tour in the 18th Century by his cruel father. #PhantomsFriday #haunted #folklore

  9. I think I’m in favour of the proposed Glyndŵr National Park. Yeah, it’ll scupper some planning arrangements but having the Dee Valley and Clwydian Range promoted from AONB to a National Park would be good for the local tourist economy.

  12. #Foryd Pier railway station served the village of #KinmelBay, known as Foryd at the time, in the historical county of #Flintshire, Wales, from 1859 to 1885 on the #ValeOfClwydRailway.

  13. The magnificent Jesse Window in the village church at Llanrhaeadr, near #Denbigh. It's thought to date from the early 16th century and may have been lifted from Basingwerk Abbey in #Flintshire at the time of its Dissolution. The most complete #medieval window in North #Wales. #StainedGlassSunday

  14. Two more photos of the 10th Century Maen Achwyfan (Achwyfan's Stone), as per my pervious post. No one seems to know who Achwyfan was. I've only just learnt its design suggests #Viking influence. If so they must have struck inland into #Flintshire and perhaps settled there. #StandingStoneSunday

  15. Y Gop in #Flintshire, the second-largest prehistoric mound in Europe. Like its much bigger cousin Silbury Hill, it contains no burials but unlike Silbury it may mark their location: in a cave below the mound #Neolithic and Bronze Age skeletons were found, showing 1000s of years of use. #TombTuesday

  25. Last full day in North #Wales tomorrow then home. On the way here we had a lovely afternoon in #Conwy so I'm looking for recommendations about where to stop off on the way back. So if anyone from #Denbighshire, #Flintshire or even #Cheshire has a succession I'm all ears! (Not the zoo though)

    The arms of Clare are unmistakeable, & Baxter (1987) suggested other heraldic allusions to Berkeley & Bohun:

    This bestiary's dated to the 1240s, a time of turmoil. Marcher lords may have enjoyed dreaming of military surprise...

The affected railway line, which links #Flintshire with Wrexham and the Wirral, is expected to face disruptions until 11:00am, #TransportForWales has said.
