About

Minera lies in the western part of Wrexham County Borough, situated within the scenic Clywedog Valley. The area is historically defined by its industrial past, centred on lead mining and limestone quarrying. This legacy is evident in the landscape, with old spoil heaps and the preserved Minera Lead Mine site. The community is primarily residential, with housing spread across the main village and surrounding smaller settlements like Gwynfryn and New Brighton.

The local geography is dominated by the Clywedog River and the rising ground of Esclusham Mountain to the west. A notable feature is the series of restored lime kilns near the country park, which once processed limestone from the extensive local quarries. The area offers outdoor access via paths like the Minera Trail, connecting to the wider Clywedog Valley route. Agriculture on the valley slopes remains a visible part of the local character.
