Discover Wrexham
Wrexham is steeped in heritage, with beautiful scenery and numerous historical sites, as well as a bustling city centre with great shopping, a thriving culture and entertainment scene, as well as a buzzing nightlife. So, whether you enjoy scenic walks and exploring historical sites, going shopping and trying out local cafés and restaurants, or attending entertainment venues and having a night-out, there really is something for everyone.
You'll find Wrexham conveniently situated on the Wales-England border, perfectly placed for easy access to the nearby cities of Chester, Liverpool and Manchester to the East, the rugged beauty of Snowdonia to the West, and great beaches along the stunning coastline to the North.
Located just off the A483, we have excellent links to all major road routes in the North West, as well as an extensive bus network across North Wales, North West England and the Midlands, making it an easily accessible location.
Wrexham also has great railway connections, with two main stations that run direct services to Chester, Holyhead and the North Wales Coast, Shrewsbury, Birmingham and Cardiff.

Conveniently, Wrexham General Train Station is situated just beside our main campus, making it perfect for a spontaneous day out.
You might too have seen Wrexham featured in the news and on Disney+ recently, thanks to the successful takeover of Wrexham A.F.C. by Hollywood celebrities, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Club also happens to be close by the University's main campus, so you never know, you might spot a famous face or two around!

“I chose to study in Wrexham because here, it’s a little bit more lively than where I’m from – more shopping, more places to go out. But I am still close to home, so when I want a change of scenery, I can just hop on a train and go walking in the mountains.”
