"We had a football club before it was cool"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing St Giles' Church tower rampant, flanked by two footballs mid-flight, above a scroll reading 'We Were Here First, Ryan'. The whole crest is slightly damp from persistent Clywedog Valley drizzle.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★★☆ 4/5
"Came here because of the documentary and honestly the Racecourse Ground still feels more real than half the stuff on telly. Town centre is a mix of lovely old buildings and the kind of shopping centre that makes you sigh, but the locals are proper friendly and will happily tell you their Wrexham AFC opinions unprompted. Docked a star because I got lost trying to find parking near Lord Grosvenor's statue."— Deadpool_Fan_1874, Ohio USA
Property Listing
Charming North Wales market town now boasting Hollywood connections, a historic UNESCO World Heritage aqueduct on its doorstep, and a football club with more Instagram followers than some countries have citizens. Perfect for buyers who want period character, a proper high street, and the bragging rights of saying 'I lived here before it was famous.'
Twinned With
Beverly Hills — Both are now internationally famous mainly because two Hollywood actors decided to get involved.
Supporting Evidence
Wrexham is officially the oldest continuously inhabited town in Wales, though it only became a household name worldwide after Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the football club in 2020.
