Erddig is a country house and estate approximately 2 miles south of Wrexham, Wales. It is centred on a country house, which dates principally from between 1684 and 1687, when the central block was built by Joshua Edisbury, and the 1720s, when the flanking wings were added by its second owner, John Meller. It has a wonderful path around the park and estate and is well worth a stop to enjoy its beautiful gardens

There are a series of monoliths marking major view points along the paths with heritage boards integrated into them. Some illustrate how the site would have looked in 1962 before the collieryβs closure from the specific viewpoint of visitors. Meanwhile another discusses the formation of coal in the Carboniferous c. 300 million years ago. The circuitous walking trails are thus monumentalised in stone; a landscape-scale stone circle.

Cup and Saucer waterfall Emes created gravelled walks throughout the large pleasure grounds, planted many trees which are still thriving today, and manipulated the flow of water across the park through a series of cascades and weirs. His most unique alteration to the Erddig landscape was the Cup and Saucer waterfall. This feature, which you can still see today, works by gathering water in a shallow circular stone basin with a cylindrical waterfall at its centre. The water falls through this cascade and then emerges from a tunnel several yards downstream.
