Holywell takes its name from the town's major feature, the world famous St Winefride's Holy Well; one of the Seven Wonders of Wales and has much to offer the visitor.
Located in North East Wales and set amid rolling countryside overlooking the estuary of the River Dee, the centre of this traditional Welsh market town has changed little over the last few hundred years as its rich variety of fine late Georgian and Victorian period buildings will testify.

At one time, Holywell was the powerhouse that supplied the labour to serve the factories and mills which sprang up in the nearby Greenfield Valley during the 18th century that now form part of Greenfield Valley Heritage Park. By today though, the town, with its pleasant pedestrianised shopping centre is a much more tranquil place serving the shopping and leisure needs of visitors and locals alike.

Location is only a few minutes travelling time from the A55 expressway and the A548 coastal route into North Wales, it is a town worth visiting either for it's heritage or merely exploring the delights of one of the hidden corners of North Wales and one of the principality's most charismatic border towns.

Holywell is also an ideal centre from which to explore the surrounding countryside with its unspoiled villages and charming country inns which dot the landscape from the panoramic heights of the Halkyn moors to the banks of the majestic River Dee Estuary.
