About

Rossett ward lies in the rural southern part of Wrexham County Borough, characterised by its agricultural landscape and several distinct villages, including Rossett, Lavister, and Burton. The area is primarily defined by farmland and low-density residential settlements, with the River Alyn flowing through the ward. Local infrastructure centres around community-focused amenities like schools, village halls, and public houses serving the resident population.

A notable historical feature is the Grade II listed Rossett Mill, a former corn mill on the River Alyn that dates back to the 18th century. The ward's geography includes areas of low-lying ground near the river, with surrounding land used for pasture and arable farming. Transport links are provided by the A483 road, which runs along the ward's eastern boundary, connecting it to Wrexham and Chester.
