starlight7 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Some of my ancestors came from North Wales , near Wrexham so I would like to visit there some time next year but we have been warned off staying actually in Wrexham. Are there any nice unspoilt small towns nearby where we could stay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa7 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Llangollen is a lovely little spot. Also, your not far from Chester. Edited October 14, 2018 by Wa7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipodista Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Conwy is lovely but it’s about 30/40mins from Wrexham, and Llanglooen etc arethe same. Chester is your best bet being only about 20 mins from Wrexham - Hoole is a little suburb of Chester and it’s a lovely town - heaps of bnbs and a cute little Main Street, plus right next to the train station. Some great restaurants too. Traffic gets a bit gnarly in the morning is the only drawback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Yes we have been thinking Chester- last visited the place in 1969 so it will be a bit of nostalgia for us. Will check out Hoole. After that we plan to go up to the Lake District and then to Barcelona. Will be our last trip ever to Europe I think so we want to get the most out of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from this area originally some great villages around that area , Mold is a old market town , there is a hotel in New Brighton just out side It was called the Beaufort palace , think there are a couple in Rosset also St David’s park in Ewole and Cardena park hotel Chester is near by ( about 20 min) away with no end of hotels a guest houses , well worth a visit old Roman town and also the medieval rows with shops there. where about is your family from ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 It was going back to the 19th century- they were from Pentreffelin Wrexham Abbot- the old man was a slater. 3x great grandad and his daughter was my 2x great grandma who also lived there. After that she moved to Durham and married a man from there. Bit of Welsh blood in my veins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
