RiverAirbus Jetty
Flintshire, WalesOpenStreetMap maps this slipway as part of the Airbus Jetty, a purpose-built pier on the River Dee near Saltney once used to load aircraft wings onto barges for the journey downriver to Mostyn Docks. It sits within an active industrial site rather than a public launch point, and there is no evidence it is open for recreational paddling.
SeaGreenfield Dock
Flintshire, WalesGreenfield Dock is a small historic dock on the Dee Estuary at Greenfield (Maes Glas), below Holywell, where the Holywell Stream meets the estuary. It still serves a local fleet of licensed cockle boats and small fishing craft, and Flintshire Council has funded safety upgrades to the site as part of the wider Flintshire Coast Park.
SeaGreenfield Dock
Flintshire, WalesThis is a second OSM-mapped point at Greenfield Dock on the Dee Estuary, about 85 metres from way/249617120; the two are likely the same slipway captured twice by the harvester. See that entry for dock history and access notes.
SeaFlint put-in
Flintshire, WalesThis put-in sits on the Dee Estuary shoreline below Flint Castle, where the estuary's tidal sand and mud flats stretch out toward the Wirral shore. A slipway at the end of the lane beside the New Cut here is currently closed behind a padlocked gate, with access enquiries directed to the RNLI's Flint lifeboat station. The estuary carries one of the largest tidal ranges in the world, so a launch window is tied closely to the state of the tide.
RiverConnah's Quay put-in
Flintshire, WalesThis is a second small slipway on the River Dee at Connah's Quay, close to Quay Park and roughly 150 metres from another mapped launch point on the same quay frontage. The river is tidal and canalised here, part of the New Cut dug in the 1730s.
RiverConnah's Quay put-in
Flintshire, WalesThis slipway sits on the River Dee at Connah's Quay, on the canalised stretch dug as the New Cut in the 1730s to keep the channel navigable for Chester. Connah's Quay is the largest town in Flintshire and its river frontage carries several small slipways used for launching and craft recovery.
RiverConnah's Quay put-in
Flintshire, WalesThis is a third small slipway on the River Dee at Connah's Quay, further downstream along the same tidal, canalised stretch of river known historically as the New Cut.
