Nature | Industry | People 

Coming to Wrexham in 2026! 

Discover Stori Brymbo, a world-class heritage attraction telling the incredible story of a 314 million year old fossil forest – the oldest of its kind discovered in Wales and the industrial legacy that evolved as a result. This is where our Stori begins! 

Step back in time with us and explore how this fossilised landscape in Brymbo shaped the industries that followed. Explore the lives of the people who built and innovated these industries in Brymbo, through the ages. Entrepreneurial characters such as the Ironmaster John Wilkinson (Iron Mad Jack) who founded Brymbo Iron Works, operational from the late 1700s. In 1885 Brymbo started production making its world-renowned steel until its closure in 1990. 

We’re now on a mission to celebrate our heritage while driving innovation, sustainability, and community engagement. 

Join us in celebrating the past, present, and future at Stori Brymbo – where history comes alive, and stories never stop growing. 

We have regular sessions where you can get involved: Brymbo heritage orchard and cider project, land management and maintenance, fossil forest Group, Brymbo bees, Heritage crafts, photography groups, walking groups and loads more…
