Looks beautiful! A nice place to settle down!
Thank you! Wales is truly a breathtakingly beautiful piece of our planet! Very much appreciate that you use your channel to show it to us. As well as keeping us updated on Wrexham AFC!👍
I'm so lucky to have been born and breed in such a lovely part of the world🙂
Ah, Dinas Bran. I have a fancy that it inspired Tolkien's Weathertop in Lord of the Rings. After all, as he took his holidays in North Wales from his family home in Birmingham, he must have travelled through Llangollen at some point or other. Anyways…just one of those idle fancies one has.
I once walked across The Aqueduct. I did not enjoy it one little bit. Not good with sheer drops, me.
Beautiful 😍 I love the aqueduct
The tourist board of north Wales hardly needs to exist what with third parties doing their job for them. The crazy bit is that, dare I say it, other parts of North Wales are even more spectacular.
Un sitio para conocer
Mucha historia.
Thanks Tom. I forwarded this one to my daughter and her man as they are going to Wales this summer. I am sure they will be impressed by the beauty of Wrexham and surroundings. Thanks for posting this.
I know I’m biased being from here, but this video really does show just how stunning it is! ⛰️
Beautifully done Tom 👍 can't believe sane peeps actually walk over that aquaduct 😬🙈
Wrexham and wales officially on the bucket list. Looks amazing
Wow! That's a beautiful video Tom, thanks!
There's obviously a lot to do and see. That boat ride across the aqueduct would be spectacular. Peaceful with a gorgeous view.
Have a good day 😊
The big question is.. 'How many locals experience and appreciate what is on their doorstep?'. For too many people elsewhere it is sadly too low a percentage
Hum ! Beautiful Norwegian music to express the beauty of Wales.
This kinda reminds me of a Rick Steves (famous European focused travel author) where he covered Northern Wales and Liverpool
Amazing… thank you for sharing.
And still plenty more to see within the radius of Wrexham borough..
Some lovely places locally. Another one of my favourites is Pistyll Rhaeadr. In the Berwyn mountains. It’s the Highest waterfall in Wales and also one of the 7 wonders of Wales. Well worth a visit if you’ve not been.
Is that a boat way up in the sky on that bridge?
It is my hope to visit Wrexham AFC one day, but after seeing this, I have an extra reason to visit!
just lovely
Erddig Hall looks like a great training ground location. Space for R&R to hang out too😄😄😄
Just magnificently beautiful. The aqueduct is spectacular, but you’d never catch me up there….too afraid of heights!
Oh my!
Thanks Tom. You live in a very beautiful part of the world.
Let's face it, Wrexham is a bit of a hell hole, regardless of the picture the documentary likes to paint, but you're right about the surrounding area, really beautiful and well worth a visit.
Gloriously glowing nature! As a born & bred American, just seeing old things from the 'wild west' is amazing, then we come across things from Native Americans and it boggles my mind. Many here are not used to thinking 'history' here as more than 'white history', but Native American history is as old as European history. American history is not nearly as old as most countries', other than this land mass.
I cant believe im going to be out there in just over a year i cannot wait!!!! Its been almost 10 years since ive been in the UK and ive never been to Wales. Cannot. Wait!!!!
Oh My goodness …Absolutely Stunning, I always new North Wales was beautiful …but WOW , I plan to visit in the the next 2-3 yrs.. Its The ONLY place I want to go too, Thx Brother Tom, Cheers
Thank you for this. It's always good to be reminded just how beautiful my home is.
Getting a touch of the hiraeths.
A deeper dive on some of these places would b cool.
If I recall correctly from the first season of WTW, they mentioned there are a huge number of castles in Wales.
The views from Castell Dina’s Bran are spectacular.
Just outside Llangollen along a very narrow twisting road!!
So much to see and enjoy in North Wales around going to watch Wrecsam play at the Stok Cae Ras.
Beautiful, Tom. More sights to see next time around!
Beautiful scenery, thanks for this.
OMG, Tom I love this so much.
I was expecting to spent a couple week in Wrexham, but with you'll just shown me I don't thin a month is enough and I definitely don't want to wait till I retire to visit.
ah i got flashback as a teenager where the school took us on a ecology trip to wales, at rhyd-y-creuau and i remember waking up in the morning and that fresh air = heavenly. and that was 25+ years ago and i think about that every now and then. thanks tom for this video. i know it's the "grass is greener on the other side" idiom, but for me, this was definitely it.
This was perfect. Thank you.
Nicely done.
Hey Tom, You should have put a cameo of yourself in as Alfred Hitchcock would have done ✅.
I was away on vacation and missed this till just now. Thanks for putting this together. I’ll save for my trip to Wrexham from 🇨🇦.
Cheers 🍻
ps I would want to swim the length of the aqueduct 😜
