The town of Wrexham lies in Welsh Border Country, nestled in the lower Dee Valley between the lush Cheshire plains of England and the rolling hills and glorious countryside of North Wales. The area has many attractions and places to visit including St Giles Church and the two National Trust properties of Erddig Hall and Chirk Castle.
St Giles Church: | St Giles Church dates back to the 13th century and its impressive tower is renowned as one of the seven wonders of Wales. The Church and graveyard stand close to the High Street, behind a magnificent set of early 18th century wrought iron gates, made at nearby Bersham. Buried in the churchyard is Elihu Yale, whose bequest to an American College led to the foundation of Yale University in the USA.
