The village and community of Bangor Is-y-coed sits in rural Wrexham County Borough on the floodplain of the River Dee, close to the England–Wales border. Low-lying meadows, willow-lined banks and quiet country lanes give it a peaceful, agricultural feel while still being within easy commuting distance of Wrexham and Chester.
It has ancient roots - the site is associated with an early medieval monastic settlement linked to St Dunawd - and today small-scale farming, rich river habitats and the nearby Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse shape local life; the racecourse stages regular National Hunt meetings and brings visitors to an otherwise sparsely populated area. Community life revolves around the village church and hall, and the riverside landscape is popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
