Mold
Mold, the historic county town of Flintshire in north Wales, sits on the River Alyn with the wooded slopes of the Clwyd Hills rising behind it. A Wednesday market runs in the town centre, where a compact cluster of cafés and restaurants lines the High Street, and an outdoor stage hosts occasional music events. The town's Welsh name, Yr Wyddgrug, and its English name both derive from words meaning "high hill."
