Places to see in ( Holywell - UK )
Holywell is the fifth largest town in Flintshire, Wales. It lies to the west of the estuary of the River Dee. The market town of Holywell takes its name from the St Winefride's Well, a holy well surrounded by a chapel. The well has been known since at least the Roman period. It has been a site of Christian pilgrimage since about 660, dedicated to Saint Winefride who, according to legend, was beheaded there by Caradog who attempted to attack her. The well is one of the Seven Wonders of Wales and the town bills itself as The Lourdes of Wales. Many pilgrims from all over the world continue to visit Holywell and the Well.
The copper sheathing was used to cover the hulls of the wooden ships trading in the warmer Caribbean waters, giving rise to the expression 'copper bottomed investment', the sheathing was also applied to Royal Navy ships and was instrumental in Nelson's victories (two of these copper plates from HMS Victory are in Greenfield Valley Heritage Park museum). There was a railway station in Greenfield that was open between 1848 and 1966. Holywell Town station, at the head of a steeply-climbing branch from Holywell Junction, was closed in 1957.
The wealth generated from these industries led to the development of the town and the High Street still has many Georgian buildings. The Greenfield Valley is well known for the abundance of birds and butterflies and many enthusiasts visit to see the array of species. The Valley also has a number of conserved mills and structures from bygone ages and is the only place in Wales to have seven scheduled ancient monuments. St James parish church is a grade II* listed building. Holywell hosted an unofficial National Eisteddfod event in 1869.
Holywell Junction was on the North Wales Coast Line. The station is closed, and trains run fast through what remains of the station. The station building, by Francis Thompson for the Chester and Holyhead Railway (1848), is listed Grade II*. The LNWR branch line from here to Holywell Town, opened in 1912 and finally closed in 1957.
Holywell is split into four distinct areas: Pen-y-Maes, the Strand, the Holway and the town centre. The Holway, located on the west side of the town, is the largest of the residential areas of Holywell. The near-contiguous village of Greenfield is located to the north east of the town on the B5121 road.
Villages within the Holywell catchment area include: Bagillt, Brynford, Carmel, Gorsedd, Halkyn, Licswm, Lloc, Mostyn, Pantasaph, Pentre Halkyn, Rhes-y-Cae, Trelawnyd, Whitford and Ysceifiog. In addition there are other smaller scattered communities within this area. All of these are within a six-mile radius of Holywell. These villages are all connected to Holywell by a frequent bus service.

The truth about people from Breton
People from the French region Breton are seen as stubborn. But is this the truth or just a cliché? Are people from Breton because of her history different than the rest? What distinguishes people from Breton from the rest of France? A documentary that is trying to look for the truth about the inhabitants that live in Breton.
Like the famous comic strip heroes Asterix and Obelix the people from the French region Breton are also bravely resisting oppression. They are not fighting against Romans, like the comic heroes but against Paris, centralization and the puffed-up windbags of the Republic who don´t get what local people want and think is important in this region. No wonder that some of them build alliances with other oppressed peoples.
Living like a God in France is a saying applicable to vacationers in France, but absolutely not to the French themselves: to them, life is nothing but worrisome. They are facing high unemployment rates, fear of new terror attacks and an important political division. What is left of pillars that are the basis of the French republic: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité? And what does it mean actually, to be French, today? Dutch Parisian Wilfred de Bruijn uncovers an intriguing country, full of contradictions, far away from the cliches we all know.
The most famous Breton is arguably the cartoon character Asterix who held the Romans outside his village in Armorica - now called the Côtes d'Armor. In the same spirit of intransigence, the Bretons still remain rebellious and act against the powers in Paris that set the standard. And a few decades ago there were still Breton regionalist activists on the television news, and at the time, they were the terrorists making the headlines in France. Wilfred de Bruijn examines how the Bretons differentiate from the rest of the French regions. What is the true nature of the Breton movement? What do they want?
