Greenfield Valley Museum and Heritage Park

Greenfield Valley Heritage Park is situated in Holywell, Flintshire and encompasses 70 acres of industrial history.  Historically Greenfield Valley employed hundreds of people in both its copper factories and cotton mills and is now fabulous open green space.  The Valley is home to a number of scheduled ancient monuments and is a haven for wildlife.  The free Visitor Centre contains information on the industry, activities and walks. Greenfield Valley is managed by Greenfield Valley Trust, a reistered charity resulting from The Friends of Greenfield Valley in 1980's to learn more visit Greenfield Valley Museum & Heritage Park website. 

The Greenfield Valley Museum developed around the agricultural buildings of the original Abbey Farm, which was a working farm until 1979. Buildings rescued from elsewhere in Flintshire were moved here to form an open-air museum which included historical farmhouses and a Victorian schoolhouse.  The majority of the collections span a date range between 1850 and 1950 covering a variety of themes including agriculture, social history and the industrial history of the local area.

Celebrate and protect the past today for future generations tomorrow

Opportunities now exist to make a difference and be part of this exciting venture.  Greenfield Valley Trust wishes to recruit three Trustees to its Board. For more information and application form visit Greenfield Valley Trust.
