The Flintshire Leisure Tour is about 83 miles long and divided into nine diverse sections. This website contains a map for each section and a description of the key places of interest en route.

We recommend you start in Mold, the official start - but if you do begin elsewhere, it will be safer and simpler for you to travel the route anticlockwise - the same direction as the arrows on the map.

Please drive carefully. The route takes you through spectacular scenery on some characteristic rural roads which can include sharp bends, steep hills or narrow bridges.

The route is well-signposted from start to finish: simply follow the signs with the Welsh dragon saying “Tour/Taith”. Each sign is numbered - look out for the white-on-blue numbers on the route maps, which show the signs at the beginning and the end of each section. The text also includes references to particular signs to help you find your way. Do take time to stop and explore off the route.

Some detours are suggested in the text but you’ll find no shortage of other places that demand a closer look. Flintshire has many high-quality tourist attractions that deliver a great experience for the whole family, together with a wide range of places to stay from four-star hotels to charming B&Bs and self-catering cottages. Many of our characterful pubs are listed in the leading guides and the food in our restaurants, often sourced from fresh local ingredients, can be first-rate.
