Rhes-y-cae is a small parish and village in Flintshire, Wales. Literally translated from Welsh, Rhes-y-cae is 'Row of fields'. It is situated between Pentre Halkyn and Rhosesmor and is part of the local government community of Halkyn. Local facilities include a chapel, a church and a park, which is situated next to Ysgol Rhes-y-cae. The school closed in 2013, due to there being too few students to warrant its continued operation.

The parish church was consecrated on 27 June 1847. ^[2]

The village shop has shut down, the bakery has closed to the public, and Rhes-y-cae pub, The Miners Arms, closed in 2014. ^[3]

Every summer the Rhes-y-cae Show takes place, featuring dog racing and show jumping. Around 600 people attend each year.

Bus shelter and sheep, Rhes-y-cae.
