Retirement Properties Spotlight in Acrefair

Acrefair comes from the Welsh words for acre and Mary. The village lies between Llangollen and Wrexham just north of the River Dee in the shadow of Ruabon mountain. For many years in the 19th century it was an important centre for iron and clay works exporting to all parts of the world and several spoil heaps survive today. It lies just over a mile from Ruabon and about six miles south of Wrexham. There is a chemist and post office.
