Page 58 2 Summary Alyn Waters Country Park is the largest park managed by Wrexham County Borough Council. It is located within 4 miles of Wrexham town centre. Much of the site was formerly sand and gravel quarry and later used for domestic landfill. The area was designated as a country park in 1989. This Management Plan identifies and describes the features of and resources within Alyn Waters Country Park. It goes on to analyse the Parks development, its conservation status, its role as an educational and community resource and its value as a visitor attraction. The Park is now a popular and well-used facility. Much of it has been developed, but some decisions need to be made on how the remaining areas of the Park should develop and how the existing areas should be managed and maintained.

  • Disabled Access to the Countryside in and Around Wrexham County Borough Read on and See How You Can Enjoy the Countryside
    Disabled access to the countryside In and around Wrexham County Borough Read on and see how you can enjoy the countryside. Introduction Access to the countryside is important for everyone. The health benefits of exercise, combined with the sense of well being from having contact with nature can make the experience extremely worthwhile. Unfortunately access for all is not always possible. Following consultation with various groups for people with disabilities in the Wrexham area, Groundwork Wrexham & Flintshire have found that there is a great need for both facilities and information to provide improved opportunities for people with disabilities to gain access to the countryside. This booklet aims to satisfy the need for the information. The details provided on each location in this booklet will allow the individual to decide if the walk is suitable for his or her own needs. We hope that the walks suggested in this booklet will encourage you to visit one or more of the sites and enjoy the local countryside. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information included in this booklet is accurate. Unfortunately the nature of the countryside means that site conditions can change rapidly. 1 Groundwork Wrexham & Flintshire cannot accept responsibility for any change in circumstances or accidents occurring at sites included in this booklet. A contact number has been included for each walk so that you can ring ahead to check the conditions. If you have any feedback on this booklet. Please contact the Countryside and Access Officer at Groundwork Wrexham & Flintshire 01978 363555. Audiotapes are not available on any of the routes included in this booklet.

  • Clywedog Valley Trail
    The Clywedog Valley Trail Points of interest Map 1 Minera to Bersham A. Minera Lead Mines B. City Engine House – The City Engine House was used to pump water from the mines into the Deep Day Level C. This section of the Trail may be part of an old waggonway used to transport limestone from Minera to Bersham Ironworks D. Deep Day Level – This drained water from the mines upstream at Minera. The water is orange coloured due to the iron deposits in the rocks it has passed through. E. Nant Mill – The series of holes in the right side of the mill supported the overhead channel that brought water from the leete to turn the waterwheels. F. 19th century gothic bridge G. Offa’s Dyke – An earthen ditch and bank stretching from North to South Wales, was built by King Offa of Mercia – now the midlands – to define and protect his border with Wales. The Clywedog was once frontier country and the dyke is clearly visible close to the path. H. Big Wood Weir was probably built by the Wilkinsons of Bersham to supply water to a small coal mine on the other side of the road. I. The leete, now dry, runs beside the path. Look also for sluice gates that diverted water from the works when needed or to prevent a flood. J. Caeau Weir – was used during the 19th century to provide a steady flow of water to Bersham Ironworks. K. Cannon were possibly cast in the octagonal building L. Bersham Mill was built as an ironworks foundry but converted to a corn mill when the ironworks closed.

Attendance at the events programme at the parks last year was 32,000 people and over 5,000 children took part in environmental educational activities in the parks. People gave over 7,000 volunteer hours to the parks that year. These figures show how well used the parks are and the quality of some of our parks is demonstrated by the four Green Flag national awards we hold for Alyn Waters Country Park, Ty Mawr Country Park, Nant Mill Visitor Centre and Bellevue Park.
