Caerwys in Flintshire, North Wales is a small town but with a lively and vibrant community. Having been granted a Royal Charter in 1290 it is one of the smallest “towns” in Great Britain. Although being just under two miles from the A55 Expressway the town is often passed-by unnoticed by travellers, yet it is surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty with stunning views across mountains and valleys. Its proximity to the A55 North Wales Expressway makes it an ideal location for touring North Wales including the beautiful Conwy Valley, Conwy Castle and to the East the English Border lands including the ancient walled town of Chester.
Despite having a small population Caerwys has three public houses, two with restaurants, a general store, delicatessen, two butchers, a baker, (no candle stick makers), a pharmacy and newsagent, hairdresser and garage. It also benefits from a Golf course, tennis court, children’s playground and a bowling green.
