In Wrexham, visitors can ride in a canal boat along the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which was built over 200 years ago, peek into the lives of the historically rich at Erddig Hall, or explore the remains of Valley Crucis, a 13th-century abbey that was destroyed after Henry VIII’s split from the Roman Catholic Church. Much of the abbey has been preserved, and some of the rooms have been restored so that visitors can fully enjoy the space and learn about the history of the building and the eras in which it stood. The town itself is conveniently located only a short distance from historical sites, other towns, and some amazing nature.
