Cornist Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Flintshire, Wales. Covering an area of approximately 55 hectares, it is a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. The wood is situated on the outskirts of Flint, a historic town in northeast Wales.

The woodland is primarily composed of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and birch, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. Its dense vegetation provides a natural habitat for a variety of wildlife, such as foxes, squirrels, and an array of bird species. The wood is also home to a number of rare plants and flowers, adding to its ecological significance.

Welcome sign for Flint Castle Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom, covered by around 375,000 listings.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites, and in more recent times a road crossing (Abbey Road) and graffiti art (Banksy 'Spy-booth') have been included.

In England and Wales there are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest. 
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest. 

There are also locally listed structures (at the discretion of local authorities) using A, B and C designations.

In Scotland three classifications are also used but the criteria are different. There are around 47,500 Listed buildings.
Category A (8%)- generally equivalent to Grade I and II* in England and Wales
Category B (51%)- this appears generally to cover the ground of Grade II, recognising national importance.
Category C (41%)- buildings of local importance, probably with some overlap with English Grade II.

In Northern Ireland the criteria are similar to Scotland, but the classifications are:
Grade A (2.3%)
Grade B+ (4.7%)
Grade B (93%)
