Cymau is a small village situated in Flintshire on the edge of the mountains of North Wales. The village is located on the side of Hope Mountain, a land feature that can be seen for miles around. Neighbouring villages include Ffrith to the west and Brymbo to the south. The nearest towns are Wrexham to the south-east and Mold towards the north-west. The area is known for its scenic beauty and large number of available walking routes. From the top of the mountain one gets unrivaled views of the Cheshire plain and in the opposite direction it is possible to see spectacular sunsets behind the Welsh hills.

The population of the village is around 350, and the village boasts a post office, pub (The Old Talbot Inn) and two churches, one made out of corrugated iron and painted a lovely shade of green.

During the winter months, despite the bus being occasionally unable to traverse the terrain, it is still not to isolated, and each mountainside location gives excellent sledging conditions.
