Made famous by John ‘Iron Mad’ Wilkinson, a leading figure in the Industrial Revolution, the once noisy Bersham Ironworks now nestles quietly in the attractive Clywedog Valley, two miles outside Wrexham in north-east Wales.
Explore this historic site, discover how Wilkinson’s cannon foundry helped make the steam engines that powered a new world or just stop over and relax while walking the Clywedog Trail.
