Are you thinking of a holiday, forget the Greek islands, forget the Canary islands, you want to come to Caergwrle for your holidays. I have in my posession a tourist guide for Caergwrle in which it is described as the gem of lovely north Wales. It says the motor-bus connections can reach any part of the midlands, sounds like you can get there from here. You could make it a dual resort holiday, one week in Caergwrle and one in Birmingham. Believe it or not it was actually reprinted in 1988, I suppose that was in a desperate attempt to halt the slide in the Caergwrle tourist industry.
In the tourist guide there is nothing about wind-surfing or beaches in Caergwrle but perhaps you could get that in Birmingham. The Grosvenor Commercial Cafe only uses farm butter, and perhaps if you were offered that you would not want to bother with the week in Birmingham. It also says that char-a-bancs parties are catered for, so you are in luck if you are a char-a-bancs. The Derby Arms where Caergwrle chess club play is listed as one of the hotels, I would have thought the number of guests staying there would be at most one.
Of the facilities offered in Caergwrle the post office in Castle Street is equipped with a public telephone. There you are, come to Caergwrle and you might not even need your mobile phone. You might try a walk or ramble, one being to Cefn-Y-Bedd where your webmaster lives. It says the ramble appeals to people who like variety through the cornfields and even crosses the railway line. Try it nowadays and you would probably get flattened by a truck, or a train, it says the ramble is the reverse of monotonous.
On a more serious note it is surprising some of the things they have in Caergwrle, and perhaps you could say it is not very likely that you would have a chess team here. There used to be a very formidable table-tennis team and a darts team and a quiz team. There are a few pubs a beauty salon and more than one hairdressers. So if you have not booked your summer holiday yet and you fancy a haircut perhaps you could do worse than Caergwrle.
