Join us on a captivating walking tour of Wrexham — Wales’s newest city (official since 2022) but a place steeped in centuries of rich history.
Though it only recently gained city status, Wrexham has long been a thriving hub of commerce, brewing, and community life. On this relaxed 1.5-mile (2.4 km) walking trail, you’ll explore:
The legacy of Wrexham’s brewing past — only one brewery still operates today, but the stories and stunning remnants of several others remain etched into the cityscape.
Grand Victorian market halls — lively, ornate, and filled with character.
Charming old pubs — where locals once shared ale, gossip, and generations of stories.
Winding streets and hidden architectural gems — from Jacobean-style facades to Art Deco masterpieces.
Ymunwch â ni ar daith gerdded hudolus o amgylch Wrecsam — dinas newyddaf Cymru (ers 2022 yn swyddogol), ond lle sydd wedi’i wreiddio’n ddwfn mewn canrifoedd o hanes cyfoethog.
Er mai yn ddiweddar y daeth Wrecsam yn ddinas, mae wedi bod yn ganolbwynt llwyddiannus i fasnach, bragu a bywyd cymunedol ers canrifoedd. Ar y daith gerdded hamddenol hon o 1.5 milltir (2.4 km), cewch gyfle i archwilio:
Etifeddiaeth hanes bragu Wrecsam — dim ond un bragdy sydd ar ôl heddiw, ond mae hanesion a gweddillion trawiadol sawl un arall i’w gweld o hyd yn nhirlun y ddinas.
Neuaddau marchnad Fictoraidd mawreddog — llawn bywyd, manylder, a chymeriad unigryw.
Tafarnau hynafol swynol — lle’r oedd trigolion yn rhannu cwrw, clecs a straeon tros genedlaethau.
Strydoedd troellog a thrysorau pensaernïol cudd — o flaenau yn null Jacobaeaidd i gampweithiau Art Deco.
Dewch i ddarganfod Wrecsam — dinas newydd â chalon hynafol.
