The walks promise a diverse range of experiences tailored to suit every preference and ability, from tranquil evening strolls through the streets of Wrexham, to invigorating all-day hikes across the rugged terrain of the Dee Valley.

Walkabout Wrexham was set up to encourage people living and working in Wrexham as well as those visiting the area to get outside and enjoy one of the free guided walks that take place in and around Wrexham County Borough.  

Each walk will be led by trained volunteer walk leaders. Walkers will need to wear suitable boots and clothing and should bring food and drinks for the longer walks.

With locations including Brymbo, Chirk, Coedpoeth, Llanferres, Glyndyfrdwy, Erbistock, Llwynmawr, Llysfasi, Minera and Llangollen, there's something for everyone - whether you're a seasoned trekker or a family seeking a leisurely outing in nature.

See all scheduled walks on the 'Walks in Wrexham' website.

The comprehensive selection of walks caters for all schedules, with morning, afternoon, evening, and all-day options available to accommodate your busy lifestyle.

Try the art of Nordic Walking, explore hidden gems off the beaten path, or challenge yourself with a rigorous 14-mile expedition over the rolling hillsides of the Dee Valley's southern slopes—the choice is yours.

Best of all, the Wrexham Walking Festival is entirely free of charge, with no advance booking required. Simply lace up your hiking boots, and come along.

As many of the routes will cross fields containing grazing livestock, dogs are not permitted on the walks.
