About

Pen-y-cae and Minera sit in the lower hills of Wrexham County Borough, linked by minor roads and public footpaths. The settlements share a community council and local services: a primary school, a community centre, shops and a few pubs. Regular bus links connect them to nearby centres. Village life includes a football club and volunteer groups that run community events and maintain allotments and green spaces.

The area is marked by visible traces of 19th-century extractive industry. Around Minera, ruined engine houses, limekilns and spoil heaps mark former lead and limestone workings; Minera Quarry has been managed as a nature reserve with cliffs, ponds and a stretch of disused tramway embankment that is used by walkers and birdwatchers. Older houses and terraces reflect the mining era while lanes and hedgerow fields map older farming patterns. Paths lead onto higher ground with wide views across the Vale; local interpretation panels record the industrial past for visitors and residents.
