The Best Dog Walks in & Around Wrexham
Wrexham is lucky to have woodland, riverside and canal walks within a short drive. Here are some local favourites and what to know before you go.
Erddig
The National Trust estate on the edge of town has wide parkland and woodland paths along the River Clywedog. Dogs are welcome in the parkland; keep them on a lead around livestock and near the house and gardens.
Parking is in the main estate car park (charges may apply for non-members).
Alyn Waters Country Park, Gwersyllt
Riverside trails, open meadows and woodland make this a great all-weather choice. Paths are mostly flat, so it suits older dogs and puppies too.
Ty Mawr Country Park, Cefn Mawr
Walk beside the River Dee with views of the Cefn viaduct. There are farm animals on site, so leads are a must in those areas.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct & canal towpath
The towpath of the Llangollen Canal gives long, level walks. Keep dogs close on the aqueduct itself and watch for cyclists and boats.
Acton Park
A handy town park with open grass and a lake, ideal for a quick lunchtime walk close to the centre.
Top tips
Always carry poo bags and water on warm days.
Check for livestock signs and keep dogs on leads near sheep, especially in lambing season.
Avoid walks in the heat of the day in summer; early morning or evening is safer for paws.
