About

Dyffryn Ceiriog ward encompasses the Ceiriog Valley in the southernmost part of Wrexham County Borough, bordering Shropshire and Powys. The area is defined by steep, wooded hillsides and the River Ceiriog, which runs through its length. Settlements like Glyn Ceiriog and Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog are linear villages following the river and the B4500 road. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, with sheep farming on the uplands and some forestry.

The ward's history is closely tied to the local slate industry, with several former quarries visible on the valley slopes. The area is part of the Ceiriog Valley character area, noted for its narrow, winding lanes and traditional stone buildings. A preserved water-powered mill in Glyn Ceiriog, once processing wool and grain, reflects the historical reliance on local resources. The surrounding hills form part of the Berwyn range, offering access to upland paths.
