Overview
Bookmark

Holywell is located in North East Wales with spectacular views over the Dee Estuary, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town is known and named after St Winefride's Well, a holy well surrounded by a chapel.

The well has been known since at least the Roman period, and has been a site of pilgrimage since about 660 when Saint Winefride is said to have been beheaded there. The town bills itself as The Lourdes of Wales and the well is widely known as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales.

  • 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. The town centre contains a Sport's Centre, many small businesses, a Somerfields and a Woolworths.
