Erddig
A 17th-century estate on the outskirts of Wrexham, famous for its intact servants' quarters and 18th-century gardens.
Erddig was home to the Yorke family for generations. They unusually commissioned portraits of their servants with verses, so the kitchen, laundry, stables and carpentry shop have been kept as they were. It is considered one of the best examples for understanding the ‘upstairs, downstairs’ life of English country houses. The formal 18th-century gardens and large wooded parkland are good for walks. It is managed by the National Trust, and admission is about £17. It is about 17 km from Llangollen, so you will need a car or a taxi.
