Wrexham

A quote from the 'Rough Guide'

• There's a curiously boisterous charm to Wrexham, the largest town (with extravagant hopes for future city status) in North Wales. It's not a classically pretty place, although some finer older buildings can still be seen nestling alongside the indentikit chainstore developments that litter the town centre. Having long looked more to the industrial northwest of England than its own Welsh hinterland, Wrexham has the schizophrenic qualities of many border towns, although just because a place can't boast two lovespoon galleries and a Welsh tea towel emporium, it doesn't mean that it's not firmly if rather enigmatically Welsh.
