The Mold Railway Path

Part of the old railway route through Mold has been dedicated as a public footpath by Flintshire County Council. Access is available here from Milford Street. Although passenger services to Mold ended in 1962 the stretch here continued to be used by freight trains until 1983 and the track was not lifted until 1985. The footpath was formally opened in 2010 and, as the wooden board explains, was winner of the Bovril Great Outdoors Revival rambling category.
