The Clywedog Trail

Interested in Walking? The Clywedog Trail is a great way to enjoy the open air, whilst discovering the industrial heritage of Wrexham and you don’t have to walk the full length of nine miles in one go – do it in easy stages!

It’s hard to believe that what is now a quiet picturesque valley was, in the 18th century, a hive of industrial activity! The Clywedog Trail starts at Minera Lead Mines, continues on down past Nant Mill, through Plas Power Woods and alongside the River Clywedog as it rushes downhill to Bersham Ironworks and Bersham Heritage Centre, centrally located on the Trail. From here you can continue down through the landscaped meadows of the National Trust’s Erddig estate between Felin Puleston and Kings Mill, where the Trail ends just a short bus ride from Wrexham town centre. It is easy walking through pretty countryside and yet there is history all around: lead works,iron works, paper mills, and corn mills. The route is waymarked so finding your way along the trail is easy.
