Rossett is a village and ward in Wrexham, Wales, sitting close to the England–Wales border and within easy reach of Chester. It occupies a mix of rolling farmland, small woodlands and riverside lowlands, with the River Alyn and the River Dee close by, giving a strong sense of countryside despite good road links to nearby towns.
Locally the area is largely residential and often part of the commuter belt for Wrexham and Chester, but it retains a village feel with independent shops, pubs, community groups and recreational pursuits such as walking and equestrian activities. Historic buildings and conservation areas, including the well‑known country house locally called Rossett Hall, add architectural interest, while a lively local school, churches and voluntary organisations help sustain an active community life.
