When people search for the best walks in Wrecsam, they often discover Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Erddig or Chirk Castle. But tucked away in the south west of the County Borough lies one of North Wales’ best kept secrets.

The Ceiriog Valley is a landscape of rolling hills, riverside paths, charming villages and breathtaking views, offering some of the most rewarding walks in Wrexham.

From gentle countryside strolls to challenging routes across the Berwyn Mountains and Offa’s D**e, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite walks, local highlights and places to stay if you’d like to turn a day trip into a weekend escape.

If you’re looking for walking inspiration, this is the perfect place to start - https://www.thisiswrecsam.co.uk/post/best-walks-in-wrexham-discover-the-ceiriog-valley-on-foot
