Wrexham is a county that is maybe not as well known as other parts of Wales, however this can often be to its benefit. Rather than having large, busy tourist attractions, it instead has smaller, more welcoming and quieter experiences for those looking for a relaxing break. The town of Wrexham is a charming place with a traditional outlook and for visitors who want to experience real Wales and not a high street filled with the same store chains, this is one of the best places to do so. Small towns and glorious countryside make up the county of Wrexham and such is the small size of the region, you can easily do both in the one day.
