Bryn Cefn is an electoral ward in the county borough of Wrexham in north‑east Wales. It sits on the outskirts of the town and is largely residential, with a mixture of council and private housing, local shops and pockets of green space, and reasonable bus links into the town centre.
Reflecting Wrexham’s post‑industrial character, the area has historic ties to local coal and lime working and retains a community focus around schools, social clubs and Welsh cultural activities. The name Bryn Cefn is Welsh - 'bryn' meaning hill and 'cefn' meaning ridge or back - and residents often value the views over surrounding countryside and the close‑knit feel despite being near the town.
