Caerwys is the smallest town in Great Britain with a Royal Charter. It is situated in North Wales in the County of Flintshire - just under two miles from the A55 and one mile from the A541 ( Mold / Denbigh Road ) at Afonwen. The centre of Caerwys is in a Conservation Area and the town is surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty and stunning views across the Clwydian Range AONB.
