Erddig

Reviewed By Clivel_98 - Hereford, United Kingdom

This large house used to be owned by the Yorke family: they had the place for over 250 years. They were also magpies: nothing ever got thrown away. However, toward the end of the Yorkes’ ownership, the house was allowed to get in a dilapidated state. So much so that the National Trust didn’t want to take it on. When they saw the collection of items, though, they changed their minds. Now, Erddig is well on the way to complete resurrection. It is stuffed with the Yorkes’ collection, and the rooms have been put back to the form they would have been in at their best. A wonderful place - it is also in massive grounds with some excellent formal gardens and outbuildings. Also a restaurant, cafe, tea garden and ice cream parlour.

Wrexham County Borough Museum

The Wrexham County Borough Museum is a museum covering a variety of historical periods ranging from Neolithic right up until the present day. It is a rather popular attraction in Wrexham due to the free admission, as well as being open and suitable to all ages with a number of hands on activities for younger guests. The museum is the home of a large Welsh orientated football collection as well as a variety of local artefacts. The museum often holds special events and/or exhibitions.

A very interesting little museum with lots of snippets of Wrexham local history and a nice cafe to finish.

St Giles Parish Church

Reviewed By Big_Jeff_Leo - St Helens, United Kingdom

This is one of the finest Parish Churches in Wales. The building in its present form dates mainly from the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centuries. The impressive tower stands 135 feet high, and was complete in 1506. The churchyard is entered through wrought-iron gates, completed in 1720 - these are not to be missed. Inside you will find some exceptional stained glass windows by the studio of Burne-Jones in the north aisle and a series of windows by Charles Eamer Kempe and C.E. Kempe and Co in the south aisle. Also seek out the tomb of Elihu Yale, benefactor of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, which is located in the churchyard. There are also many splendid war memorials and plaques, as well as the memorial chapel to the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

Xplore! Science Discovery Centre

Xplore! Science Discovery Centre is the newest and most exciting attraction for absolutely everybody! From the people that brought you 'Techniquest Glyndwr', this fantastic science centre comes with a whizz and a bang with amazing experiments, curious exhibits and exciting live shows whatever the weather.

Reviewed By 617beew

Very reasonable price, I had a 9 year old and a 13 year old with me and they both loved it. Good range of activities, staff were friendly and helpful. I recommend catching one of the 'shows' they will let you know the times when you pay and escort the group to a science lab upstairs where you can watch and get involved with experiments, the kids loved the liquid nitrogen - very cool! Well delivered and explained to a variety of age groups who were watching. We would recommend this place, we went on a rainy day and it was a great way to spend the afternoon.
