Holywell

Town in Flintshire, northeast Wales, on the Dee estuary; population (2001) 6,000. Light industries have now replaced the town's former industries of metal, textiles, and paper. Holywell is named after St Winifred's Well, a destination for pilgrims and invalids in search of a miraculous cure. A Gothic chapel is built over the spring. Mostyn port nearby is a deep-water terminal with an industrial park.

Nearby are the ruins of Basingwerk Abbey, founded about 1131 and characteristic of the Early English style of architecture.
