The town of Caerwys is to be found in North East Wales in the County of Flintshire and is probably one of the smallest towns in the United Kingdom yet it manages to offer residents and visitors alike a range of local shops and services. Originally a Roman outpost it has been suggested that the local church, of St Michaels’ is built on the base of a former Roman observation post. Caerwys also has a connection with Pennsylvania in the United States – the founder of Pennsylvania was one William Penn who had a close personal friend called Thomas Wynne who was from Caerwys. Thomas Wynne became the first speaker of the Provincial Government and a Provincial Judge and it was he who was responsible for the street pattern of Philadelphia which he based on the street pattern of his home town - Caerwys. Today Caerwys is known for the picturesque views that it can offer as it nestles in the countryside close to the larger towns of Prestatyn and Rhyl. It is conveniently situated just off the main North Wales trunk road, the A55, and this makes it an ideal location for touring the surrounding countryside.
