Field Visit - Return to the Brymbo Fossil Forest

10.00 – 3.30
20 May

Saturday 20 May (Field meeting): Return to the Brymbo Fossil Forest, Wrexham, led by Gary Brown (Brymbo Heritage Group). Meet at the new Brymbo Heritage Centre (www.brymboheritage.co.uk) for 10.00 (approx. GR: SJ 295 536). Directions: Please read these carefully and look at the Brymbo website. SatNav and digimaps may not have caught up with recent road developments. Take A483 for Wrexham, exit at J4 to go west on A525, signed Brymbo, Coedpoeth. Take second right towards Brymbo (1st right is just after the lights) on B5101 (Heritage Way). After approx. 1.5 miles take second exit at roundabout onto Pheonix Drive (B5101), then straight on at the next two roundabouts. At the fourth roundabout the Brymbo Heritage Centre is the first exit to the left. Brymbo Heritage Centre is located approx. 200 yards south of Brymbo Enterprise Centre postcode: LL11 5BT (Blast Road, Brymbo). Things have moved on since our last visits in 2007 and 2009, to house this amazingly preserved fossil forest from the Late Carboniferous Coal Measures. With help from the Prince’s Regeneration Trust a plan has been put in place for the iron works, colliery and the fossil forest, which now has its own visitor centre. The morning will mostly concern the fossil forest. Lunch at the neighbouring cafe or bring a packed lunch. Afternoon session from 1.15 will focus on the iron works and colliery and the plans for their restoration. Finish around 3.30.
