You can’t get a chapel much older than Maesyronnen, it is considered one of the most important buildings in Wales.

A simple, spiritual building with a very special, peaceful atmosphere, where you can sit, reflect and pray as you take in the glorious views along the North Wales coast and the Clwydian range.

From the very early days of its origins and starting to build just after the turn of the 20th century, through to its completion in 1978, the story of this great cathedral, the largest in the UK and the fifth largest in the world, is unique and fascinating.

The story of the church, originally known as Trinity Presbyterian Church begins with an inspired Victorian gentleman named Samuel Stitt.

Near the North Wales Pilgrims Way and was founded in the 5th century by St Nefydd, this church has significant links to Welsh culture and language with Catherine of Berain, cousin of Elizabeth I and known as the Mother of Wales, said to be buried here.

The church was founded in 1894 to serve the growing and close-knit population in the area, serving the people who worked in the local industries, which included coal mining, the gas works, the brickworks and the BICC (British Insulated Callender Cables).

Adjacent to Eastnor Castle, with fine monuments by Stuart and Scheemakers as well as Kempe and Pugin connections.

In a small, very rural hamlet, Trusley's formal little church is a surprise, being built of red brick in the classical style and dating from 1713.

As well as its cathedral Chester has at least six ancient churches, several of them now no longer serving as churches.

An ancient place of worship in a stunning setting overlooking the Vale of Clwyd, the Snowdonia Range and the coastline towards the Great Orme, set within a churchyard full of wild flowers in the spring and summer, close to the Clwydian Way walking route and a network of more local footpaths.
