Bangor Is-y-Coed is a compact rural ward in Wrexham, Wales, sitting on the floodplain of the River Dee. The ward centres on the small village of the same name - the Welsh name is often translated as "Bangor below the wood" - and includes farmland, pockets of woodland and the well‑known Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse tucked into the riverside meadows.
Historically a borderland community with medieval roots, the area keeps a strong agricultural character while also feeling the pull of nearby towns; many residents commute into Wrexham or across to Chester. Local life is focused on the church and village hall, events at the racecourse, and an increasing interest in conserving the riverside habitats that help define the landscape.
