AN APPEAL for information has been launched after 'deliberate damage' caused trees to fall down at a Flintshire heritage park.

Over the past few weeks, the Greenfield Valley Museum Heritage Park has been subjected to damage which those responsible for the park believe to have been caused deliberately.

They say trees in the valley have been cut down, as well as fencing and are now appealing for anyone with information to get in touch with North Wales Police.

A statement from the Greenfield Valley Museum Heritage Park, posted on Facebook alongside several pictures of the damage caused, read: "In the past few weeks we have seen deliberate damage to the trees and fencing in the Valley.

"The trees which have been cut down are likely to have been 40+ years old so replacement is slow.

"If you see anyone causing damage please call the police."

North Wales Police has been approached for comment on the incidents.

The Valley, situated on the main A548 Coast Road and only a couple of miles from the A55, covers 70 acres of woodlands and walks, within which are no less than seven National Monuments covering 1200 years of local heritage, from Wat’s Dyke to Industrial archaeology, (of which the Greenfield Valley was a Welsh cradle of the Industrial Revolution).

Within the Valley is a recently-opened Visitor Centre and shop at the entrance to the main Museum, containing buildings re-erected from locations in Flintshire, including a Victorian School, Welsh farmhouse, furnished with items from the National Museum of Wales.

In addition are displays and artefacts of rural and industrial heritage, particularly relating to local Items.
