Flint to Deeside on the Wales Coast Path
Along the Dee estuary from Flint's old docks to Deeside, completing my continuous coastal run from Aberdaron to Parkgate.

Bit by bit, my coastal adventure has covered the path from Aberdaron at the tip of the Llŷn Peninsula to Flint. Running Flint to Deeside joined it all up to Parkgate on the Wirral.
You start at Flint Docks, built to export lead and coal and later used by a soda works moved from Liverpool, which must have filled the air with acid clouds. It's lovely now. The path follows the estuary with Parkgate directly opposite, and it was fun to see it from the other side.
