Hawarden (/ˈhɑːrdən/ ⓘ; Welsh: Penarlâg) is a village and community in Flintshire, Wales. It is part of the Deeside conurbation on the Wales-England border and is home to Hawarden Castle. In the 2011 census the ward of the same name had a population of 1,887,[1] whereas the community of the same name, which also includes Ewloe (which also has a castle) Mancot and Aston had a population of 13,920.[2] The scenic wooded Hawarden Park abuts the clustered settlement in the south. Hawarden Bridge consists of distribution and industrial business premises beyond Shotton/Queensferry and the Dee.[3] The west of the main street is called The Highway, its start marked by the crossroads with a fountain in the middle, near which are public houses, some with restaurants.[n 1]
The village is 7 miles (11 km) from Chester. In 2014 it was named in The Sunday Times' annual Best Places To Live List.[4]
The highest temperature in Wales was recorded in Hawarden on 18 July 2022 at 37.1°C.[5] The previous highest temperature recorded in Wales, 35.2°C, was also recorded in Hawarden on 2 August 1990.[5][6] Hawarden has held this record almost continuously, until it was replaced for a few hours by Gogerddan which recorded a temperature of 35.3°C on 18 July 2022, first breaking the Welsh record, after which Hawarden surpassed Gogerddan.[7]
