A dragon once rose above Wrexham’s rooftops, its shadow cast on secrets buried beneath cobbled lanes and soaring stands. Peel back the city’s surface with this self-guided audio tour, plunging into legends and scandals hidden in plain sight. Walk where power struggles erupted inside the Racecourse Ground and hear whispers that linger in the ancient corners of Wynnstay Arms Hotel. Why did crowds suddenly freeze mid-cheer one stormy night on the pitch? Which faded inscription at Eagles Meadow points to a rebellious plot? And what odd midnight promise binds rival factions to a forgotten alley just beyond the High Street?

Stride through Wrexham’s vibrant streets as each story crackles to life underfoot. Expect twists, revelations, and echoes of voices determined never to be erased. See familiar landmarks afresh—every shadow may hold a clue.

Let the dragon’s tale lead you. Press play and uncover what Wrexham is dying to reveal.
