Caerwys is a town in Flintshire, north Wales, United Kingdom. Caerwys is mentioned in the Domesday Book as a small market town. It is one of the smallest towns in Wales and is only a town through royal charter. Caerwys can no longer get insurance for a town bonfire display after an accident one year hospitalised the mayor.

Home of the Eisteddfod and the smallest Town in Great Britain with a Royal Charter. Caerwys is situated in North Wales in the County of Flintshire - just under two miles from the A55 and one mile from the A541 ( Mold / Denbigh Road ) at Afonwen. The centre of Caerwys is a conservation area. The well-maintained church is dedicated to St. Michael. It has two parallel naves. The oldest part of the building is a stone tower whose base is said to have been part of a Roman observation tower. A short, informative booklet about the church was written in 1936 and updated in 1995. Caerwys is surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty and stunning views across mountains and valleys.

The most famous native of Caerwys was actress Myfanwy Talog, who is commemorated by a slate plaque on the cottage where she was born. Talog never forgot her origins, and succeeded in persuading the BBC to bring the Radio One roadshow to Caerwys in the 1980s.
