Coed Victoria is a picturesque forest located in Flintshire, Wales. Covering an area of approximately 200 acres, this woodland is known for its diverse range of tree species and abundant wildlife. The forest is situated on the outskirts of the village of Loggerheads, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The woodland is predominantly comprised of broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and birch. These trees create a dense canopy, providing a cool and shaded environment for visitors to explore. The forest floor is covered in a carpet of wildflowers and ferns, adding to the natural beauty of the area. There are also several small streams and ponds running through the woodland, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Coed Victoria is home to a wide variety of wildlife, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Visitors may spot red squirrels, badgers, and foxes, as well as a range of bird species such as woodpeckers, owls, and warblers. There are also numerous insects and butterflies that can be observed throughout the forest.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the area at their own pace. There are also picnic areas and benches scattered throughout the forest, providing opportunities for relaxation and enjoying the surrounding natural beauty.

Coed Victoria offers a peaceful and scenic retreat for individuals and families seeking a connection with nature. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the woods or a quiet picnic amidst the trees, this woodland provides a serene and rejuvenating experience for all who visit.

Railway Museum, Greenfield Heritage Park This museum in a warehouse by the former lower cotton mill houses a pair of Robey stationary steam engines. The smaller is associated with a pop bottling plant and is steamed from this boiler. The boiler is based on a Coltman vertical boiler but was built in the 1990s by Israel Newton of Idle, Bradford. The safety valve lifts at 80 psi but it usually runs at about 60 psi. There is also a Worthington Simpson duplex boiler feed pump.

Greenfield Heritage Park - steam engine This inverted vertical single cylinder engine drives a reconstructed pop bottling plant on the first floor of the Railway Museum that is open one Sunday a month in the season. It was built by Robey of Lincoln in 1931 as No. 46005 and used at Wrexham Technical College. As befits a teaching engine it has an adjustable Meyer slide valve. It was running at 108 rpm and taking steam at about 60 psi. It lives in a wooden 'hut' with a glass window in front of the engine. This view is through the door with the help of the friendly volunteers on site. Because it used a mixture of time and flash the engine appears to have two crossheads.

Greenfield Heritage Park - steam engine This is in the Railway Museum that is open once a month in season. It is a Robey horizontal cross compound the was used at the Ruby Brick & Tile Co at Rhydymwyn, Flintshire. It was built in 1903 as serial Nos. 22825-6 and has drop steam valves and grid iron sliding exhaust valves. The cylinders are 13.5" and 21.5" x 2'6" stroke. The flywheel is 11' diameter. As re-erected it is missing a few minor parts - eccentrics, lubricators and handrails for example. This is an interesting survival and it deserves to be much better known. I only learnt about it just before Covid-19 struck and it took me a while to get round to it because of that.

Next to the vertical boiler was this recently refurbished horizontal duplex non-rotative steam pump that was awaiting plumbing in. It is a Worthington-Simpson, serial No. 5110521 with cylinders 3" x 2" x 3".

Holway Level Mine, Holywell This is the entrance to the Holway Level, a two mile tunnel that lead to one of the most productive lead mines in Britain. The Level drained the water from the mine and also allowed the ore to be brought out by boat. The tunnel was developed into a tourist attraction in 1788. The galena in the mine contained up to 80% lead and 12% silver. Since 1917 this level has supplied St Winefride's well as the original supply was interrupted by the construction of the Milwr Tunnel.
