Cymau

Cymau is a small village situated in the community of Llanfynydd, Flintshire on the edge of the mountains of north-east Wales.

The placename Cymau is a less common plural form of Welsh cwm, "valley"; this seems to have been rendered as cyme in the Welsh dialect of Flintshire, still reflected in the local colloquial pronunciation of the name as "Cymee".

The village is located on the side of Hope Mountain, a land feature that can be seen for miles around. Neighbouring villages include Ffrith to the west and Brymbo to the south. The nearest settlements are Wrexham to the south-east and Mold towards the north-west.[citation needed]

The area is known for its scenery and hill-walking routes.[citation needed] The summit of Hope Mountain offers views of the Cheshire Plain and, in the opposite direction, it is possible to see sunsets behind the Welsh hills.[citation needed]

The population of Cymau is around 350. The village had a pub (The Old Talbot Inn, now closed) and one parish church with a roof made from corrugated iron and also a chapel. The former village post office and general store closed in 2009.[citation needed]

During the winter months, despite the local bus being occasionally unable to traverse the terrain, the village remains reasonably accessible.[citation needed]
