👉 Talacre in the context of Hilbre Island

The Hilbre Islands (/ˈhɪlbriː/ HIL-bree) are three tidal islands in Merseyside, England. They lie off the coast of the Wirral Peninsula at the mouth of the Dee Estuary, opposite Talacre in Flintshire, Wales. The name is thought to derive from a chapel built on the Island and dedicated to St. Hildeburgh.

The islands are a Local Nature Reserve and are within the Dee Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest. As of 2012, the islands have no permanent residents. They can be reached by foot from West Kirby during low tide.

Flintshire (Welsh: Sir y Fflint) is a county in the north-east of Wales. It borders the Irish Sea to the north, the Dee Estuary to the north-east, the English county of Cheshire to the east, Wrexham County Borough to the south, and Denbighshire to the west. Connah's Quay is the largest town, and Flintshire County Council is based in Ewloe.

The county covers 169 square miles (440 km), with a population of 155,000 in 2021. After Connah's Quay (16,771), the largest settlements are Flint (13,736), Buckley (16,127) and Mold (10,123). The east of the county is industrialised and contains the Deeside conurbation, which extends into Cheshire and has a population of 53,568. The adjacent coast is also home to industry, but further west has been developed for tourism, particularly at Talacre. Inland, the west of the county is sparsely populated and characterised by gentle hills, including part of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB. The county is part of the preserved county of Clwyd.
