Connah's Quay is a town in Flintshire, Wales, perched on the banks of the River Dee at the head of the Dee Estuary. It looks across to the Wirral and Liverpool and forms part of the wider Deeside conurbation, with riverside walks and estuarine habitat popular with birdwatchers and walkers.
Originally a small quayside settlement named after the Connah family who operated the quay, the town grew with shipbuilding, steel and paper industries - nearby Shotton was a major employer - and today combines industrial and retail areas with commuter links into Chester. Community life is bolstered by local institutions such as the Connah's Quay Nomads football club, and recent regeneration has focused on the waterfront and housing improvements.
