About Mold:
Tucked beneath the breathtaking Clwydian Range, Mold is a vibrant market town that’s bursting with charm, culture, and countryside magic. Whether you're hiking up Moel Famau for panoramic views and a peek at the historic Jubilee Tower or strolling through Loggerheads Country Park with its scenic riverside trails and limestone cliffs, nature lovers are spoiled for choice. Culture buffs can catch world-class performances at Theatr Clwyd, a powerhouse of Welsh theatre since 1976. Love a good treasure hunt? The Afonwen Antique & Craft Centre is an Aladdin’s cave of vintage finds and handmade crafts. And don’t miss Mold Market—one of the largest street markets in North Wales, held twice a week with over 70 stalls of local produce, crafts, and treats. With festivals, friendly pubs, and a strong sense of community.
But here’s the kicker: Mold is super commutable! 🚗💨
- Just 25 mins to Chester via the A55 or direct bus routes
- Only 24 mins to Wrexham on the A541 or a quick bus ride
- Easy access to Denbigh, Holywell, and even the North Wales coast thanks to great road and bus links
Mold isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to thrive.
Why we're different:
As the only corporate dental provider in the UK not backed by private equity, we’re in a unique position. We’re committed to the UK dental industry for the long-term – both private and NHS – and are ready to treat not just today’s patients, but generations to come.
Furthermore, as a limited liability company Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100% on delivering a great service for our customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but Bupa reinvests 100% of its profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.
