    The name of this headland is an Anglo-Welsh tautology, since Penmaen means “stone head”.

    In 1399 the unpopular King Richard II (1367-1400) was ambushed here, as he returned to England from Ireland, by supporters of Henry Bolingbroke. After his capture, he was taken to Flint Castle and forced to surrender the crown to Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV.
