A traditional British semi-detached house - Una villetta bifamiliare in stile Inglese
Our house is situated on the border between the beautiful North Wales, famous for its green, rolling hills and the vibrant England. We are only 9 km from the sea, where you can take walks along the coast and experience stunning views across to Liverpool and the English coastline and the sandy beaches of Wales. Our town is situated in a valley surrounded by hills and fields, where you can see natural wildlife and you can easily reach Snowdonia. Alternately, if you prefer the city, you can easily reach the popular historic cities of Chester (14 km), Liverpool (37 km) and Manchester (80 km). Chester is a beautiful Roman city known for its Tudor buildings and cathedral, where there are plenty of shops and an outdoor theatre where you can watch Shakespeare in the summer months. In Liverpool you can visit the Beatles Museum and spend an afternoon visiting the Albert Docks, the Tate Museum or shopping in the exciting Liverpool One centre if you prefer. These fantastic locations can be easily reached by car, bus or train.
La nostra casa si trova al confine tra il Galles del Nord, famoso per le sue bellissime verdi colline e l'Inghilterra. Siamo a soli 9 km dal mare, dove si possono fare splendide passeggiate nelle enormi a spettacolari spiagge del nord con i tipici cambi di paesaggio dovuti alle maree, tra il Galles del Nord e la costa Inglese fino a Liverpool e oltre. Il nostro paese si trova in una valle circondata da colline e prati verdi in mezzo alla natura, da qui si puo' facilmente raggiungere Snowdonia National Park. In alternativa si possono visitare Chester (14 km), Liverpool (37 km) and Manchester (80 km).
Chester e' una bellissima citta' di origine Romana famosa per le sue case e porticati sospesi in stile Tudor e la sua cattedrale. Oltre a una grande scelta di negozi e ristoranti, in estate c'e' un teatro all'aperto nel parco vicino al fiume con un programma di commedie Shakespeariane.
A Liverpool si possono visitare il museo, le case dei Beatles e il Cavern dove hanno iniziato la loro carriera o passare un pomeriggio al vecchio porto (Albert Docks), a visitare i tanti musei interattivi, facendo shopping nella nuovissima zona di Liverpool One o visitando le due cattedrali, una cattolica e una protestante, a due estremita' della stessa via. Tutti questi posti sono facilmente raggiungibili in auto, autobus o treno. Molte attività, musei interattivi e parchi per bambini sono disponibili in tutta la Gran Bretagna.

Mold is a beautiful, small market town. Our house is situated down a quiet cul-de-sac within a short distance from the town centre. We are close to all amenities - small shops, supermarkets, the market (twice/week), a library, tennis courts, leisure centre etc. Our town is surrounded by hills and woods; there are plenty of opportunities to go walking and cycling and enjoy the countryside. Should you wish to explore further there is a bus service where you can catch regular buses to nearby cities, like the historical Chester. Should you wish to travel further afield, Liverpool and Manchester are easy to reach by car or train. Alternately, you can travel along the Welsh coast and admire the views across to England and Ireland.
