Nice cafe on the river. Handy after some of the climbs around the Clwydians. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g1473593-d9807553-Reviews-Honey_s_Bakery_Riverside_Cafe-Caergwrle_Flintshire_North_Wales_Wales.html

If you are not going into the cafe, then this a good place to sit. Roads a bit close and noisy, but down by the water there is a lot to distract you in terms of the bridge and its arches and the old mill weir.
