Mold is a town in Flintshire North East Wales. It is located between the Clwydian mountains to the West and the plains of Cheshire (with the ancient walled town of Chester) to the East, the estuary of the River Dee to the North, and the town of Wrexham to the South. Mold is a friendly market town where family run businesses rub shoulders with High Street names. There are bustling street markets every Wednesday and Saturday, the street trading being a tradition in Mold since the 17th Century.

Being strategically located close to the English / Welsh border it has aquired a wealth of history, and indeed the High Street was once home to a motte and bailey Norman Castle. Mold is also the original home of the Bronze Age Gold Cape, a unique and fantastic piece of prehistoric metalwork, estimated around 2000 BC, found on a skeleton in fields nearby and now proudly exhibited centre stage in the British Museum in London. Mold Library / Museum displays a copy of the Gold Cape and many other Bronze Age treasures.

The ancient church of St Mary's in Mold overlooking the High Street was financed by Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry Tudor, to mark his victory over Richard 111 at the Battle of Bosworth and his enthronement as King of England in the 15th Century.

In 2007 Mold hosted what is the highlight of the Welsh language cultural year ..the Welsh National Eisteddfod.  The Eisteddfod will actually be situated just south of the town on the fields of Pentrehobin estate on the old road from Wrexham to Mold, the B5444. All the sites will be based on the Pentrehobin land including the Maes, the car parks, the caravan site, the youth village and the MaesB.

Mold is the county town of Flintshire, and home to Theatre Clwyd, known throughout the UK for its productions.

The beautiful Clwyd Hills to the West of the town are ever popular with walkers/ramblers and are the location of the northern section of the Offa's Dyke Path, the long distance walk that leads from Prestatyn in the North to Chepstow in the South of Wales. Or vice versa as the residents of Prestatyn prefer to think! The hills are also becoming ever more popular for the Mountain Bike trails which have been encouraged by the local authorities, particularly Denbighshire County Council. They have a wide variety of Trails suitable for both the beginners and the more experienced lunatics!
