About

Marford and Hoseley ward lies in the northeastern part of Wrexham County Borough, bordering the English county of Cheshire. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing developments and older properties set around the village of Marford. It is a commuter area with good road links to Wrexham, Chester, and the wider North West region. The landscape includes pockets of woodland and green space, with the area situated near the lower slopes of the Cheshire Plain.

A notable local landmark is the distinctive 'Marford Hills', a series of steep, grass-covered sand and gravel quarries that have been reclaimed by nature, creating a prominent and unusual visual feature in the otherwise gentle topography. The ward includes the smaller community of Hoseley and is largely separate from the main urban area of Wrexham, maintaining a semi-rural character. Local facilities are centred on the village, serving the immediate residential population.
