Wales Cycle Routes > Wrexham
During the 1800's this area came alive. It had the leather industry, their very own newspaper and then John Wilkison, nicknamed "Iron Mad" came in and the Iron Works revolution began. During the 20Th century the town had a economic crisis where they built a nuclear bunker which is now the home office building. Now, the largest town, often called "the capital of Northern Wales" is the central hub for arts, science, music, media, sports, education and houses over 100,000 people. Located against the Dee Valley, Wrexham has three small rivers that run through the town and an underground water reserve.
