Greenfield Valley Heritage Park

Home

 

Greenfield Valley Heritage & Country Park is a 1½ mile-long linear park following the course of the Holywell Stream between the town and the estuary of the River Dee, and through which the most steeply graded conventional standard gauge railway in the UK once ran.

Here, in addition to St Winefride's Holy Well and 12th century Basingwerk Abbey, lie the remains of a number of historic mill buildings, many of which are by now scheduled ancient monuments.

More recently, cottages, farmhouses and even a Victorian school have been moved here stone by stone from other locations and carefully reconstructed and furnished as they might have been in centuries gone by.

The park also boasts a farm museum complete with machinery, implements and farmyard animals and a museum dedicated to locally born and world famous naturalist and explorer, Thomas Pennant.

Visitors can also enjoy a number of meandering woodland walks leading to and past secluded picnic spots and five small lakes teeming with bird life and enabling the visitor to explorethe silent remains of historic mills in an area which was once the cradle of the industrial revolution in North Wales and from where all manner of goods were exported worldwide
