A superb walk from the quiet streets and great views of Rhosllannerchrugog to the bustle of Wrexham via Erddig Country Park. Safe and relaxing as it avoids a dangerous road crossing. I found the lanes I had to walk were quiet....

A rainy start for this one from Wrexham through the Erdigg estate and over a couple of very boggy fields. Some interesting signs of industrial history, old mine workings in the distance,. Route was easy to navigate though a busy crossing of A483 was dicey....

A straightforward route from Chester, though the majority of the walk is alongside the main road. Too early for blossom but did enjoy the first iced ring of spring in the hedgerow. Does get a lot more interesting from Marford when the route diverts from the main road through a nature reserve and past the Flash pond....

Leaving Wrexham you notice the ancient trees on the edge of a housing estate which hint at an old driveway into the country estate (National Trust) of Erddig....

Barbed wire on gates stopping access to fields for a look or a wee (admittedly not on actual path, but I've never seen barbed or razor wire on top of gates before). No fanfare or sign that you've crossed from England into Wales when you cross the grey Pulford Brook - though bilingual road signs a bit later let you know this is border territory - the Motte and Bailey beside it unloved and inaccessible....

In any case, it’s possible to cross the railway line earlier than the route suggests by taking the first footbridge and following the path on the other side through fields to join the B5605....

Again, the footpath hugs the main road but is easy and safe to walk along. It's a fairly monotonous plod; you'll pass the drive of the Eaton estate, set well back off the main road, and a large garden centre and cross the border into Wales over a small bridge just after the Grosvenor Hotel in the village of Pulford....

Reaching the A483 and the A55, it helped to be on the correct side of the road, which I have indicated in the gpx file, to use the safest crossing points and paved sides of the roads. The last section where we left the A483 to head into Chester had an unexpected rural feel, and then we crossed the River Dee to reach the end of the route, and then the station (via a couple of great pubs)....

Before walking from Wrexham to Chester, I looked on Google Maps Street View and decided there was no way I was going to walk across the A483 by the railway crossing at OS Grid Ref: SJ 33972 54202. It is a busy dual carriageway with a 70mph speed limit. I've uploaded and now walked WreChe Three based on further suggestions from JammyScone....

A lot of the English half of the route is by a main road, which might not be to some tastes, but it is on a pavement throughout and offers some interesting buildings both beside the road and in the distance. Links to public transport are excellent throughout as it follows a lot of the route of the 1 bus between Wrexham and Chester....

David Sanderson

I walked this route from Rhosllanerchrugog.The route through the town and a housing estate is winding and not always obvious....

Tim Ryan

Most importantly, I would urge using Wrexham Road with its safe, wide pavements instead of deviating via Rake Lane which has fast moving traffic and no footway making it a much less safe and accessible walk....
