Wrexham is the newest city in Wales. Here, old industry meets a new kind of fame. The red-brick stands of the Racecourse Ground echo with the chants of a famous football story. My top tip is to visit St Giles' Church. You can see the tomb of Elihu Yale for free. This site is one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. Nearby, the Erddig estate shows how the staff and masters lived in a grand house. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the canal high over the Dee Valley. Many local log cabins feature private hot tubs for a night under the stars. The city offers a mix of energy and history where dogs are welcome on the park paths.
