The village was, until 1974, in an exclave of the ancient county of Flintshire known as Maelor Saesneg. (English: "English Maelor"), sometimes called "Flintshire Detached", which was administered from Overton-on-Dee. Between 1974 and 1996, Penley was in the short-lived county of Clwyd.
Penley lies on the path of the long-distance walk, the Maelor Way.
