About

Brymbo lies on the northwestern edge of Wrexham County Borough, characterised by its distinct hilltop setting overlooking the surrounding Dee Valley. The area's landscape is heavily shaped by its industrial past, with former steelworks land now undergoing significant redevelopment. Residential streets are arranged across the slopes, providing views towards the nearby villages and the Clywedog Valley. The ward includes the communities of Brymbo itself and Vron.

A prominent local feature is the large, grassed-over Brymbo steelworks blast furnace, preserved as a scheduled monument. This industrial relic sits near new housing developments, symbolising the area's transition. Community life centres on local shops, schools, and sports facilities, with access to woodland walks on the nearby Brymbo Heritage Site. The geography creates a clear separation from the urban centre of Wrexham to the east.
