Overview

Once you've seen the beautiful areas, such as the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Llangollen, that surround Wrexham, it becomes much easier to understand how two A-list celebrities fell in love with Wrexham AFC.

Taking in the beautiful Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Llangollen, the Pontcysyllen adequate, and the City of Wrexham, this tour offers you the chance to experience both the beauty of North Wales and the fun that is Football.

During the tour, you will have the chance to meet a passionate local guide who has followed Wrexham since they were a child, meet local people who have been used in the filming of Welcome To Wrexham and hear some behind-the-scenes stories that only a local would know. You might even meet a celebrity or two along the way! In addition to this, you will be able to explore not only a site of international importance but also beautiful boutique shops, characterful cafes, and a couple of historic pubs.

Activity itinerary

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
  • 30m
Standing on the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct it's easy to feel like your stood on top of the world. This stunning 'stream in the sky' offers breat-taking views over the River Dee, and the Vale of Llangollen. Deep with reds, oranges, and yellows in Autumn, vibrant with greens, in the spring, and just as spectacular during the summer and winter, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the perfect place for a picture. Walking across the Aqueduct its easy to see why local people love this place. Created a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, the aqueduct and its surrounding areas are considered to be of international importance. Given that you are standing on the longest Aqueduct in Britain, and the Longest Aqueduct in the world, its easy to understand why this beautiful bridge is projected for future generations. During your stop here you will have the chance to learn about the Bridge's construction, its role in the canal systems, and take some time strolling along the walk ways.
Llangollen
  • 30m
Llangollen is possibly the prettiest town in this part of Wales - and that's saying something, given that the town is in an area of outstanding natural beauty! Known for its Victorian promenade, magnificent views of the River Dee and surrounding hillside, as well as its quaint independent shops, you are guaranteed to find something here to take home and cherish. As you stroll through the town, your guide will point out the local traders, craftspeople, and makers so that you have the chance to take a unique piece home with you. Don't have room in your luggage? Then why not grab a drink in one of the Picturesque pubs and watch the world go by? Or alternatively, why not grab a hot drink and a cake in one of the enchanting eateries that are sprinkled over Llangollen? After stopping in Llangollen, your driver will take you through the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty back to Wrexham, where your Welcome to Wrexham portion of the tour will start.
Wrexham
  • 1h
Everyone loves an underdog; if that underdog lived anywhere, it would be Wrexham. A city full of history, hard-working and friendly people, nationally important businesses, and Wrexham AFC, the oldest football club in Wales, the third oldest club in the world, and the star of the hit TV series Welcome To Wrexham. Don't let those Hollywood A-listers fool you. They're not the stars! It's the city and people of Wrexham who make the series the hit thing to watch. Local people are passionate about their city and their football club, and the people of Wrexham (or Wrecsam in Welsh) constantly bounce back after every attempt to knock them down. As you walk around the city streets, who knows what you will see, or indeed who, as our passionate, knowledgeable local guide, who is also a die-hard Wrexham AFC supporter, leads you on a tour that includes not only the filming locations from Welcome to Wrexham but also Wrexham's illustrious history.
Wrexham Lager Brewery Shop
  • 30m
Wrexham Lager is a national institution Not just for Wales but for the whole of Great Britain. The idea of two German immigrants, this light refreshing lager is the oldest in the UK. Produced in Wrexham since 1882 this lager was exported across the British Empire and even served aboard the infamous Titanic. Now it's your chance to taste this historic beverage, and even buy some to take home with you!
The Fat Boar (Pass by)
The Fat Boar is a favourite place to stop with everyone from the staff at Wrexham AFC to locals looking for a good place to eat. However, we're here for something more interesting than the food and drink - the mural on the exterior of the pub. The murals on the exterior of the Fat Boar have seen fans of both the Wrexham AFC, the Welsh National Team, and Welcome To Wrexham flock here in their droves. Whilst here, you will have the chance to have your photograph taken alongside the current mural, hear about previous paintings that have adorned the walls, and learn how some of the murals have had to be changed for legal reasons.
St Giles Parish Church
  • 30m
St Giles Parish Church is a stunning building, one of the finest examples of Church building in Wales, and is home to the exorcist priest (Reverend Dr. Jason Bray) whom Rob and Ryan meet in Season One of Welcome To Wrexham. This stunning 15th and 16th Century Church is a historic gem, with a pre-reformation lectern (dated around 1524 and one of old 40 surviving examples in the UK), the remains of a painting depicting the Day of Judgement, and the burial place of Eliha Yale, the principle benefactor of Yale University in the United States of America. Whilst exploring this church, you will have the chance to see these fantastic historical artefacts, and should you be brave enough (and the weather permits) you can climb the Church's Tower for a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding area.
Wrexham General Market
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Wrexham Market is where many of the famous local faces work, congregate, and chat about the various highs (and lows) of the football season. Here, you will meet local characters such as Rob Clarke (owner of Mad4Movies) and, if he is in, chat about all things Wrexham.
Lot 11 Cafe
  • 30m
Lot 11 Cafe is your chance to get a quick snack and a drink in a place that is favoured by the Wrexham AFC players. This boutique cafe is seen in Welcome to Wrexham when Paul Mullins and Ollie Palmer eat breakfast here in season one.
Wrexham Miners Project
  • 45m
The Wrexham Miners Project is a museum like no other. Like so many other buildings and institutions in Wrexham, this building was saved by the Local people and converted into a museum. Founded in memory of those who lost their lives in the Welsh mines, this building was once the Miner's Rescue Station - where miners would learn how to rescue injured colleagues after a collapse, or worse, an explosion. While many people across the world associate the Valleys of South Wales with the mining tradition, mining took place across Wales, and it is in our blood. Across the UK, 48% of major mining accidents happened in Wales, and this museum houses a memorial to the 234 people who died in the 1934 Gresford Mining Disaster. This disaster was featured in Season Two of Welcome To Wrexham. Whilst here you will learn how rescue teams were trained, and even get the chance to put yourself through some of their tests. Who knows, you might even get the chance to meet a celebrity or two while here!
The Racecourse Ground (Pass by)
The Racecourse (or Cae Ras in Welsh) is the oldest international soccer stadium in the world that is still in continual use. Today, it is (almost) as famous as those bigger, shinier international stadia such as Wembley and is home to Wrexham AFC, the oldest soccer club in Wales. Put more plainly this stadium is the heart of Wrexham. Entry into the grounds and inside the stadium is not guaranteed due to match schedules, filming days, closed practices, and factors beyond our control. That said there will be time for pictures outside the stadium, and your guide will explain not only this club's fantastic history but also its bright future now that Rob McElhenny and Ryan Reynolds have taken ownership of Wrexham AFC.
Wrexham AFC Club Shop
  • 30m
At the Wrexham AFC Club Shop you will be able to shop until you drop! Why not pick up this season's home and away shirts, or if you like something a bit more exciting, why not purchase a cuddly toy to take home and cuddle whilst you think of Rob and Ryan....
Turf Hotel
  • 30m
The Turf's landlord, Wayne, is one of our favourite characters from Welcome To Wrexham, and we highly recommend stopping here for a drink or something to eat as we end our tour. If you're lucky, Wayne might serve you, or you may catch a glimpse of him as he runs off to film the next series. Before your guide departs, they will explain the unique history of the pub, including its crucial role in Wrexham Cricket Club, how the pub was used in the founding of Wrexham Football Club, and how the Turf Pub has been a focal point for Wrexham supporters on match days for over 150 years. During your time here, you will have the chance to soak up the atmosphere of this historic pub (which feels like one of the characters in Welcome To Wrexham), take photos of the supporter's walls, which now cover part of the pub's historic interior, have a bite to eat from the Burger Van which is parked outside and often also seen in the series, and sample some of the pub's drinks.
