Holywell West is the western ward of the market town of Holywell in Flintshire, Wales. It covers a mix of residential streets, local shops and community facilities and sits close to pockets of light industry and small businesses that serve the town; good road links such as the A55 make commuting to larger centres like Chester and parts of Deeside straightforward.
The ward shares in Holywell's historic identity as a pilgrimage and spa town centred on St Winefride's Well, and benefits from nearby green spaces and the rolling Flintshire countryside. Local community groups, schools and occasional regeneration projects help shape a varied social fabric, balancing long‑standing local traditions with the practicalities of a modern commuter and service economy.
