Beautiful old church and pretty extensive, well-maintained and scenic graveyard. I nearly flunked art history, so all I can really say about it is that there's lots of detailed stonework, great little nooks and sitting areas, and gorgeous stained glass. Easy to access; no locked gates or anything. Enjoyable walk in the sun.

A hidden gem, St Deiniol's Church is adjacent to Gladstone's Library in Hawarden. The church is open to all visitors during the day, and feels very welcoming.
Inside you get a feeling of peace and calm, the stained glass windows are delightful. The tomb of Gladstone and his wife is remarkable and a lovely commemoration to a great man.
The local Men's shed has an exhibit of a model of the church they created - worth a look.
The graveyard is extensive, with the grave of a soldier who fought in and survived the Charge of the light Brigade a highlight.

A beautiful church in the heart of Hawarden, full of history. Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone was married here (there’s also a memorial to both him and his wife following their death). Another interesting fact being that in 1896, the then presiding Archbishop of Canterbury, Edward White Benson, died here during a church service.
Set in beautiful grounds with a CWGC section overlooking stunning views of North Wales and into England, well worth a visit.
