Great views from the towers looking south east towards Ellesmere. Also great looking north eastward to The Wirral across the River Dee to Neston and Parkgate.

Great views from the castle towers up a new spiral staircase. We walk north west along the coast through birch woodland. Many seabirds to observe from the headlands on the Dee mudflats. Check the tides for best viewing at low water.

The building was originally a courthouse. The court at Halton had been held in the gatehouse of the castle. However, by 1737 its structure had deteriorated so badly that it was decided to build a new courthouse on the site of the gatehouse, using some of the stones from the previous building. The courtroom was on the first floor of the building and prisoners were held in cells in the basement.

The Castle, formerly known as The Castle Hotel, is a public house and former Georgian courthouse on Halton Hill in Halton, Runcorn, Cheshire, England. Its side walls are continuous with the curtain walls of the ruins of Halton Castle. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building

Flint Castle in Flint, Flintshire, was the first of a series of castles built during King Edward I's campaign to conquer Wales. The site was chosen for its strategic position in North East Wales.

The remains of Hawarden Castle can be seen on the elevated hill, you can ride round one side but there is a high metal fence in place preventing full access all around the castle

The earliest and most unusual of Wales’ English-built castles Fans of military architecture make a bee-line for Flint. The first castle to be founded as part Edward I’s campaign against Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (Llywelyn the Last) in north Wales, it boasts a unique and unusually sophisticated design. Started in 1277 and largely completed by 1284, the castle is dominated by the great tower (or donjon) at its south-east corner. Surrounded by its own moat and accessed via a drawbridge, it’s essentially a castle within a castle. Built with exceptionally thick walls and equipped with all the facilities required to withstand a siege, it was presumably intended to be a final refuge in the event of an attack. Flint Castle is also famous as the location of a fateful meeting in 1399 between Richard II and his rival to the crown Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV), an event immortalised in Shakespeare’s Richard II.

Nice informative piece of art

The ruins offer a wonderful view of the Wirral coast!

Nice free place with a park area you can picnic in and towers you can climb into. Nice view.

Flint is one of the earliest Welsh castles and is free to enter. There are some great photo opportunities and interesting information too, including an audio excerpt from Shakespeare's Richard II, which was set in Flint Castle. You can find this on the upper level of the corner tower to the right of the entrance.

Walk or cycle it’s lovely by the estuary and nice place to sit and have a picnic by the castle
