Erddig is hardly out in the sticks. It is ten minutes walk from the edge of Wrexham and an easy cycle ride from the train and bus station. Obviously many people have to use their cars, but if the National Trust wish to attract even more visitors then they should think of the environmental impact. What is the point of looking after an historic house and gardens, if meanwhile, environmentally they are ignoring the medium and long term consequences of the people who visit? The National Trust own the land between the regular bus route along the Ruabon Road (through Felin Fuleston) and Erddig – they have an opportunity to lead by example.
