Flint
Flint is a town in Flintshire, Wales, laying on the estuary of the River Dee. Flint is set in north-east Wales, adjoining the River Dee, to the north of the town of Mold. Over the River Dee, the Wirral can be seen from Flint and views to the south of the town include Halkyn Mountain. Flint is found less than 12 miles from the English urban of Liverpool, and even closer to its metro area. However, thanks to the two bays and rivers in between, driving distance is pretty much two times as long. The name relates to the stoney platform on which the castle was built, and was first documented in 1277 in the French form 'le Chaylou'. Flint has the oldest town charter in Wales, dating from 1284. It was formerly Flintshire's county town, and is today the third largest town in the county.

In 2011, Welsh identity was included and 57.1 per cent expressed that they had Welsh, Welsh and British or other combined identity. Lots of people in Flint have some awareness of the Welsh language, although capability does differ. English is the main spoken language to be heard across the town.
