Flintshire

Flintshire (Welsh: Sir y Fflint) is the north-easternmost county in Wales. It consists of two detached parts, with an area of Denbighshire separating the two. The largest and most northerly part lies south-west of the Dee estuary, and to the west of the city of Chester in Cheshire, England. The more southerly part borders Denbighshire to the west, and the English counties of Cheshire to the north and Shropshire to the south, and is known as English Maelor (Welsh: Maelor Saesneg).

Flintshire was established in the 13th century.
