Ffrith
Ffrith is a small village in the community of Llanfynydd in Flintshire, north-east Wales. ==Name==
The name Ffrith (the Welsh double "f" is pronounced simply as "f") reflects a spelling and pronunciation particular to Flintshire: it is derived from a North Welsh word meaning variously a "pasture", "enclosure" or "forest" and borrowed originally from the Middle English word "frith", meaning a forest or game preserve.〔Owen, H. W. ''The place-names of east Flintshire'', University of Wales Press, 1994, p.297〕 The name Belmont or Bell Mount was also commonly used for the village in the 19th century.〔 In local usage the village is usually referred to as "the Ffrith". The village is situated in the southernmost part of the county in the wooded valley of the River Cegidog at the point where the Nant-y-Ffrith stream flows into it. Neighbouring villages include Cymau to the east, Brymbo to the south-east and Llanfynydd, one mile to the north. The nearest major towns are Wrexham to the south-east and Mold towards the north-west.
