Walkabout Wrexham & District Website
Welcome to the 'Walks in Wrexham' Website
This website has been designed to encourage people living, working and visiting Wrexham, to get outside and enjoy one of the many free walks that are led in and around Wrexham County Borough.
The walks were first started by Walkabout Wrexham, a Groundwork Wrexham and Flintshire project which started in 2001 and was funded by the Big Lottery from April 2007 until March 2010. From April 2010, the newly created volunteer walking group called 'Walkabout Wrexham & District' will carry on the free walks through funding, fundraising and donations. All of the walks are free and led by volunteers involved in the Walkabout Wrexham & District group.
There are currently 13 weekly walks and between 8-15 extra walks every month in Wrexham with many walks suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. All the information for the walks are found on this website, if you have any queries about the walks, please visit the FAQ page.
