Local Walks
Overton resident Ken Farrell has worked for many years on making the footpaths around Overton accessible.
Ken says “Overton is surrounded by a forty mile network of interconnecting public footpaths and bridleways, all of them readily accessible from the village where there is free car parking for visitors.
There is also a regular bus service to the village from Wrexham and Whitchurch.
All the paths are clear and fully waymarked and cover a wide variety of attractive landscapes, riverside, woodland and pasture, many with extensive views. Until fairly recently many routes were obstructed or hidden but thanks to great efforts by Wrexham County Borough Council and the former Clwyd County Council all are now fully open for everyone to enjoy throughout the year."
