Countryside and coast

These pages provide information on countryside and coast events, management, education, walks, access and much more.

Come and visit Flintshire's beautiful countryside and coast.  Walk between impressive dunes to sparkling estuary waters or climb heather-clad hillsides to views across 6 counties. See for yourself the variety of wildlife and wealth of history that makes Flintshire unique. Whatever you decide to do, we hope you enjoy your day out!

We are currently developing a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund to conserve, restore and improve Wepre Park for everyone. We are keen to hear from everyone about their ideas for the park and their thoughts on the proposals as we develop the bid. View further information on the Wepre Park Development Project.
