Rhydymwyn

Rhydymwyn is a village located in the upper Alyn valley in Flintshire. Once a district of Mold, it was recognised as a separate parish from 1865. The village takes its placename from the ford across the River Alyn (now replaced by a small iron bridge); the name in Welsh means 'Ford of the Ore' (Link

Wikipedia).

Rhydymwyn nature reserve

The site of the secret wartime facility has been kept free of interference for so long that it is now maintained as a nature reserve. The River Alyn used to meander across the site between the wooded slopes, but was taken into a culvert at the south-western edge and the floor of the valley levelled by taking the spoil from the creation of a series of huge underground storage levels. The suspicious contours remain from this time but grass has taken over the spoil.
