Tourist's guide to FLINTSHIRE, North Wales
Historic Market Towns of Flintshire

Flint | Holywell | Mold

Markets in this Country were generally established by the Romans and many towns grew around the market place.  Over the years Market Charters and Rights were granted to certain towns and this was the case within Flintshire where Markets were established and have grown in the towns of Connah's Quay, Flint, Holywell and Mold.

Markets were operated by Lords of the Manors and later private companies who employed a Market Superintendent who was affectionately nicknamed the 'Toby'.

Flintshire County Council, as well as licensing all car boot sales, fairs and other privately operated markets within the Country, also operate their own car boot sales within the Mold area on Sundays throughout the year.

Ample public car parking is available at all sites.
