Hotels in Wrexham

The charming Welsh town of Wrexham, close to the English border, has an illustrious ancient past comprising more than 3,500 years of recorded history. One of the highlights of the town calendar is the Wrexham Science Festival, which comprises several weeks of public events and educational programmes, and attracts thousands of visitors.

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

In the Wrexham County Borough, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is an astonishing example of early 19th-century architectural innovation and was opened in 1805. The Grade I-listed navigable aqueduct, which is more than 300m in length, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, and carries the Llangollen Canal. It was designed by one of the most influential civil engineers of the Georgian period, Thomas Telford, who also pioneered the Shrewsbury Canal and the Caledonian Canal in Scotland.

Chirk Castle

Another striking landmark, not far from the aforementioned aqueduct, Chirk Castle has stood for more than 700 years, and was built when the area was under the rule of King Edward I. The site is noted for its 17th-century Long Gallery, and surrounds almost 500 acres of parkland that visitors are welcome to explore.

The Wrexham County Borough Museum

At the Wrexham County Borough Museum, you can learn about the history of the area and the major events that have taken place near the English-Welsh border over the centuries. The venue, which is very close to most Wrexham hotels and the town's railway stations, also examines Wales' prehistoric origins and features a popular souvenir shop.
