While the UK is home to many wonders, it is not very often you will find a castle on your doorstep like in the Welsh town of Flint.
To those who call Flint home, the castle is only a short walk away, however, how many people know the history behind it?
Flint Castle was the first of a series of castles built by King Edward I as he campaigned to conquer Wales against Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. The area in Flint was chosen for its strategic position in North East Wales and only a short distance away from Chester and the River Dee.
