Not an exclave but related, The western boundary of the town of Dartford, Kent is also the Kent /Greater London Boundary, with the London Borough of Bexley (this can be confusing as Bexley along with Bromley and various other places in that area still use the postal address 'Kent' but are now actually London Boroughs and not administered by or actually part of the present day Kent) There are a couple of cul de sacs or no 'No through roads' , where their entrance /exit is on the county boundary, Clive Road being one, so while in Greater London can only be accessed by crossing into Kent, these can be seen on openstreet maps. There is if I remember also the reverse, ie a cul-de-sac in Kent, with boundary across the access, so you can not travel to or from anywhere else in Kent without crossing first into Greater London. Are there any other examples around the country (might even be fairly common?) where a road or street is cut off from its parent county as such, and you need to cross another county to access any other place in the parent county?

I believe in relation to the English county boundaries immediately prior to the April 1974 changes Lancashire lost more territory than any other county.

Appreciate is Welsh, but when thinking of county exclaves, my first thought is always Flint, because we had an old wooden county jigsaw when I was a kid. And the tiny other bit of Flint was always getting stuck under the rim of the lid 🤣
