Looking across the flooded Burton Marsh towards the Flintshire Bridge from near Burton Point. Just after one of the highest tides of the year the usually constrained River Dee has once again flooded the marsh bringing with it plenty of bird activity.

Wepre Park, Connah's Quay

The High Street in Connah's Quay looks distinctly down-at-heel in places but here to the south of it there is an air of quiet suburban prosperity. This is Wepre Park, the road, which confusingly leads to Wepre Park, the park. Wepre is a much older name than Connah's Quay and is still used as a name for this part of the town.

The National Cycle Network is a network of cycle routes. It was created by the charity Sustrans Link

(Sustainable Transport), aided by a National Lottery grant. Many routes aim to minimise contact with motor traffic, though 70% of them are on roads. In some cases the NCN uses pedestrian routes, disused railways, minor roads, canal towpaths, or traffic-calmed routes in towns and cities.
