Wales.org was founded in 2020 as a site dedicated to Wales. Beyond facts and figures, we wanted to showcase all the wonderful thing this small country has to offer for holidaymakers, thrill-seekers and even the lucky people who live here.

North East Wales

From the Anglo-Welsh border to the seaside town of Rhyl, North East Wales may be small – but it’s packed full of things to see, do, and explore. The largest town in the region is Wrexham, home to some of the most fascinating history in the country. Its churchyard is the final resting place of Elihu Yale – a local philanthropist who funded Yale University – while its football team is the third oldest in the world!

If you’re looking for  gentle walks or long hikes, you won’t be disappointed. The National Trust owns more than 1,200 acres of walkable land just outside Wrexham. And for something a little wilder, Wales’ newest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley) promises over 20 miles of heather, heathlands, and hillsides.
