Holywell is a market town, named after a holy well known from the Roman occupancy, but later dedicated to St Winefride,

and marketed as the Lourdes of Wales.

Holywell is a council area, which is given as the postal town for villages in the area, providing a total population around 9,000.

The A5026 south east of Holywell leads to the  Halkyn locality category.

Brynford is to the south west, and the A5026 to the north west leads

to Carmel, Gorsedd, and  Whitford Council.
