Nice for someone to have something positive to say about good old Wrexham for a change as so many people around the town put the place down!
I’m also an ‘outsider’ – or at least, I was!
My husband and I moved to Wrexham ten months ago, relocating here from Derby (80-miles away).
Our sole reason for relocating was a 14-year passionate love for North Wales. Honestly, we would have rented anywhere in North Wales, just to be able to live out here. We had barely heard of Wrexham, it was not on our radar, and we had no opinions of the town either way.
It just so happened that the first job my husband applied for, and was subsequently offered, was in Wrexham. We found a house to rent, put all the wheels in motion, and hoped for the best, not really having a clue about where we were heading!
I can honestly say that Wrexham has not let us down and has in no way disappointed us. First and foremost, Wrexham’s biggest plus-point is the people who live here. I have never known such a friendly place, truly. Even now, ten months on, I still find it amazing to walk around my local area and have 98% of the strangers I pass by say hello to me, or acknowledge me in some way. People here have a warmth about them. I feel welcome. I feel safe. I feel lucky to live here.
Another plus is the beautiful outdoors – scenery and landscapes. Vibrant hills and valleys, enchanting woodland walks and forest trails, many opportunities for a leisurely picnic by the river, and numerous local parks. We’ve never spent so much time outdoors as we have since being in Wrexham.
I enjoyed reading this review too… sorry if it looks like I’ve hijacked the thread for my own… just wanted to add my thoughts.
