Alyn Waters Country ParkEasy | Pushchair Friendly | Toddler FriendlyStarting location: Main Visitor Car Park (LL11 4AG)Time: 1 hrDistance: 2.3kmElevation: 23m Alyn Waters is one of those places thats perfect when you want to get outside without overthinking it. The paths are well-maintained, the routes are flexible, and it works just as well for a quick wander as it does for a longer loop.The walk follows the River Alyn through woodland and open grassland, with plenty of space for little legs to run ahead. There are bridges to cross, ducks to spot, and lots of sticks to be collected (obviously).Its a great option if youre walking with kids, dogs, or just want something easy-going that still feels properly outdoorsy. Read my guide to Alyn Waters Country Park for more info. 2. Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Circular from Ty MawrModerateStarting location: T Mawr Country Park (LL14 3RD)Time: 3 hrsDistance: 7.3kmElevation: 136m This circular walk combines Ty Mawr Country Park, the River Dee and the iconic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and its a brilliant walk near Wrexham if you want a bit of everything.Walking across the aqueduct never gets old (even if youve done it loads of times). Watching the narrowboats glide past while the river sits way below is equal parts magical and slightly nerve-wracking.The full circular route is well worth doing, especially if you start from Ty Mawr and make a proper day of it.

Castell Dinas Brn WalkModerate | Toddler FriendlyStarting location: Market Street Car Park, LlangollenTime: 1 - 3hrs Distance: 5kmElevation: 220m You cant visit Llangollen without noticing Castell Dinas Brn that dramatic ruined castle perched right on top of the hill. It looks intimidating, but I promise its more manageable than it seems (even with a toddler in tow).We usually park at Market Street Car Park and walk up from the town. Its a steady uphill climb rather than anything technical, and my toddler managed a good chunk of it on foot. I carried her for the steeper sections, but the promise of a castle at the top definitely helped.The views from the summit are unreal the River Dee winding through the valley, rolling hills in every direction, and that wow, this was worth it feeling.Its a great spot for a snack break and a breather before heading back down.

Farndon Circular WalkEasy | Toddler FriendlyStarting location: Farndon village (free car park near the Parish Memorial Hall)Time: Around 2 hoursDistance: 6.5kmElevation: 45m This is a lovely, easy-going circular walk that follows the gentle curves of the River Dee, right on the border between England and Wales.Starting from the pretty village of Farndon, the route quickly drops down to the river, where things slow right down and the scenery really opens up.Much of the walk sticks close to the riverbank, with wide floodplains, peaceful views and plenty of spots where the Dee quietly meanders along.Its flat and well-paced, making it ideal if youre after something relaxed rather than a leg-burner. Youll pass through a mix of open countryside, riverside paths and short woodland sections, which keeps things interesting without ever feeling demanding. Find the map here - Farndon Circular Walk 5. World's End Circular WalkModerate | Toddler FriendlyStarting location: what2words:///beefed.treetop.holidayTime: 1 - 2hrsDistance: 2.5kmElevation: 100m This walk feels like a proper little adventure without being too challenging which is honestly my favourite kind of walk now I have two in tow.The Worlds End Circular Loop is wonderfully varied, with open moorland, rocky paths, forest sections and those dramatic crags that make you stop and stare for a bit. We parked at the lay-by using the what3words location above and followed the route on Komoot, which worked really well.My toddler loved spotting highland cows, hunting for caves in the forest and picnicking by the river. There are a few uneven sections, so a carrier is definitely handy if youve got little legs in your group but overall its very doable.You really do feel like youve been somewhere special by the end. View the Worlds End walk on Komoot 6. Horseshoe Falls LoopEasy | Toddler FriendlyStarting location: Horseshoe Falls Car ParkTime: 30min - 1hrDistance: 1.3kmElevation: 10m This is one of my go-to walks when I want something calm, scenic and easy. The Horseshoe Falls Loop follows the River Dee to the beautiful curved weir designed by Thomas Telford and its just lovely.We took it slow, throwing stones in the river, waving at ducks and stopping for snacks (a recurring theme).The falls themselves are peaceful rather than dramatic a perfect spot for a sit-down, a picnic and a few photos. You can extend the walk towards the canal if you fancy, but even the short loop is a really nice way to spend an hour. See the Horseshoe Falls route on Komoot 7. Moel FamauModerateStarting location: Moel Famau Main Car ParkTime: Around 2 hoursDistance: 5.2kmElevation: 266m No list of walks near Wrexham would be complete without Moel Famau. Its a classic for a reason.The paths are wide and well-trodden, the views are incredible on a clear day, and the sense of achievement at the top never really fades. Its a great walk to do with kids who like a challenge, or on those days when you want to feel like youve properly earned your cuppa afterwards.Reaching the Jubilee Tower at the top always feels like a proper achievement. Its well worth taking a break here to soak in the views, refuel, and enjoy that made it moment before heading back down the same way.
