Step 2 - Visit your site

- take the direct Avanti West Coast train from London Euston to Wrexham General

*** Ruabon is a village in the southern part of Wrexham County Borough. The area is well known for the production of its distinctively red bricks, used in many buildings throughout the UK. Buildings of Ruabon Red Bricks include Liverpool University or Ibrox Stadium for Glasgow Rangers FC, designed by stadium architect Archibald Leitch. Maybe soon Y Cae Ras too?
