Flintshire (Welsh Sir y Fflint) is a county in northern Wales. It borders, in England, Merseyside (across the River Dee) and Cheshire, and in Wales, Wrexham and Denbighshire.
The current administrative Flintshire came into existence in 1996, but Flintshire is also a traditional county of Wales. The historic county does not have the boundaries of modern administrative Flintshire, in particular it has a large exclave called Maelor Saesneg, it also includes Prestatyn and Rhyl which are now administered by Denbighshire.
