Mold is a friendly market town where family run businesses rub shoulders with High Street names. There are bustling street markets every Wednesday and Saturday, the street trading being a tradition in Mold since the 17th Century.

Being strategically located close to the English / Welsh border, it has acquired a wealth of history, and indeed the High Street was once home to a motte and bailey Norman Castle. Mold is also the original home of the Bronze Age Gold Cape, a unique and fantastic piece of prehistoric metalwork, estimated around 2000 BC, found on a skeleton in fields nearby and now proudly exhibited centre stage in the British Museum in London. Mold Library displays a copy of the Gold Cape and many other Bronze Age treasures. ....
