'Mostyn' is a small village in
Flintshire,
North Wales, lying on the estuary of the
River Dee, and located near to the town of
Holywell.
Mostyn once served as a port from which ferries used to sail (until 2004) to
Dublin on the Liverpool-Dublin route. Today, manufactured wings for the massive
A380 aircraft leave Mostyn on the ship
Ville De Bordeaux, after travelling up the river Dee by barge from the Airbus wing factory at
Broughton, Flintshire.
Mostyn's port area is home to the headquarters of Warwick International Group Limited, manufacturer's of bleach activators for detergent applications.
Just down the A548 road from Mostyn at Llanerch-y-Mor is the now closed Mostyn Fun Ship. The ship started life as ''The Duke of Lancaster'',
[1] a car ferry and cruise ship. After it was permanently dry-docked in Mostyn it earned its later name from its new operation as an arcade and bar.
