Wrexham (Wrecsam)

Wrexham is the largest town in North Wales, and features a thriving economic and cultural centre, blending industrial strength with modern enterprise and tourism. Historically a hub for coal mining and steel production, Wrexham has diversified into advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and financial services.

Major employers, including Wockhardt and Airbus (nearby in Broughton), contribute to a strong local economy, while the town centre is undergoing regeneration, with new retail, leisure, and cultural developments, including the expansion of Wrexham AFC – boosted by its Hollywood-backed ownership. Tourism is growing, with attractions like Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Erddig and the town’s vibrant events scene drawing visitors, as well as the aforementioned football club attracting tourists from around the world.

The property market is buoyant, offering affordable homes and strong rental demand, particularly with Wrexham’s rising status as a university city. Excellent transport links via the A483, rail connections to Chester and Manchester and proximity to Liverpool and Manchester airports enhance Wrexham’s appeal.
