Fruit trees still grow here, as records show they did in Joshua Edisbury’s garden in 1700. For 200 years, the parkland has been open to the local community as a place of tranquility or adventure. The 486-hectare (1,200-acre) landscape pleasure-park, designed by William Emes, is a haven of peace and natural beauty, perfect for riverside picnics. Discover the ‘cup and saucer’ or explore the remains of a Norman motte and bailey castle. From the earliest origins of Wrexham to the technology of an 18th-century designed landscape. All around, tenant farmers continue the work of generations.
