Best for families who want an easy, low-cost day outdoors - walkers, cyclists and mixed-mobility groups all find room to spread out across this large Wrexham country park.

โœ“ Riverside and woodland walksโœ“ Dog friendlyโœ“ Clean toiletsโœ“ Cheap all-day parkingโœ“ Car park fills upโœ“ Cafรฉ on site

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

The draw is space to roam cheaply: a huge park where a morning stretches into riverside and woodland paths, with a play area, cafรฉ and spotless toilets by the entrance. Clear footpaths welcome prams, scooters and mobility scooters, so mixed-mobility groups are well served - though the overflow onto a narrow lane is worth planning around.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กArrive early, as the main car park fills and overflow parking along the entrance lane can make the narrow road tricky
โฐBlue badge holders can use disabled parking by the shop
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธBring a towel for the dog, as there are riverbank cut-outs for a splash
๐Ÿš—Pack a picnic or use the dog-friendly cafรฉ by the entrance

โ€œGreat place for a dog walk and family stroll followed by a lovely lunch in the cafรฉ. Parking is just ยฃ1 for the day. Really lovely walking trails by the river and through wooded parkland. A few good spots for the dogs to enjoy a splash too. Plenty of parking along the edge of the entrance lane if nothing available at the top. The cafรฉ was busy but seating availability was good and dog friendly too. Good choice of snacks and lunches as well as breakfast options. Friendly service and good clean toilets also on site.โ€

โ€œWe went to the chirk tunnel and was advised to park here. The cafe looked very nice but we had no time to stay maybe next time. The path to tunnel very steep so I couldn't go as wheelchair wouldn't manage down. Also not many spaces in carpark. Some people had parked on the road which caused a dangerous passing due to narrow view of road.โ€

โ€œLovely wander , we chose the river walk, which our new dog "molly" loved. Other walks take you into woodland.. Our walk started in the ample Carpark and was well sign posted.. Seating benches are plentiful, cut outs along the river bank are ideal for our young pup to get to the water for a splash about.. People swimming by the bottom bridge was a surprise, but also shows the water is clean.. Footpaths are well kept and clear, prams,, scooters, bikes, mobility scooter friendly. Areas off the footpaths have been left uncut on purpose to attract birds and wildlife.. By the main entrance is a cafe, picnic tables, gift shop, toilets and play area.. Parking is just ยฃ1 all day, if Carpark full, More parking is available on the entrance road.. Disabled parking is by the shop.. Dog walkers, joggers, ramblers and cyclists will enjoy it here. Plenty of room to roam and enjoy a day out.. Would come back to room more of the woodlands....โ€

Overview

A circular route follows the River Alyn, where open grassland gives way to shady woodland paths that suit cycling as much as a gentle amble. The visitor centre doubles as a handy base when it is open, and there is enough ground here that a short outing easily stretches into a proper morning of roaming before anyone runs out of steam.
