The impressively vast Pontcysyllte Aqueduct spans the River Dee, rising over 200ft, and during the summer months, you can dine out on the barges as they glide gracefully over the aqueduct, gazing across at the ruins of the thirteenth century Valle Crucis Abbey.

In recent years, Wrexham has worked hard to attract the discerning shopper, and it’s now considered something of a retail paradise, with the pedestrianised town centre allowing easy wandering from big-name stores to small independent boutique showcasing artisan pieces.
