Wrexham On-line Tour

Ruabon

Ruabon lies south of Wrexham, just off the A483(T) and is served by the Chester to Shrewsbury railway line. Ruabon Station is the nearest railway station to Llangollen.

A mix of old and new, the village centre's main landmarks are a Georgian hotel and the Church of St.Mary. The Church, a listed Grade I building, was recorded in 1253 as being dedicated to St. Collen. The Church has a 14th century tower. Historically, Ruabon was the seat of the powerful Welsh family the Williams Wynn. It has also given its name to Ruabon brick - the shiny, durable red brick, much in evidence in buildings in the Wrexham area and beyond.
