    New lease of life for Erddig Christmas trees

    National Trust rangers have recycled Erddig’s decorative Christmas trees for some den building fun!

Christmas might be over, but with a little chainsaw magic the historic hall’s rangers have created a fun activity for families in the Timber Yard. Instead of throwing Erddig’s Christmas trees on the compost heap, Erddig’s rangers have

    It’s a view to stop you in your tracks — looking across the village and up the valley to the Berwyn range. “I’ve painted this view numerous times, trying to capture the soft colours and long shadows,” smiles the artist Rosie Davies, surrounded by her sketchpads and work-in-progress watercolours at her Ceiriog Valley art studio.

The gravity-defying structure, which stands stoically some 126ft above the valley of the River Dee, has inspired not just engineers but also artists. Indeed, the Scottish poet Sir Walter Scott described it as, ‘the most impressive piece of art I have ever seen’. But what most people don’t realise is that it calls Wrexham County home.
