Set in the scenic Welsh hills near Wrexham, the site is accessible and rich in heritage. Discovered in 2001, the Brymbo Fossil Forest contains fossilized remains of prehistoric plants like club-mosses, horsetails, and tree ferns. It is now protected and managed by the Stori Brymbo team.

The Brymbo Fossil Forest site preserves a Carboniferous forest, offering a rare glimpse into one of the planet’s earliest rainforests. This environment was home to massive arthropods, extinct plant species, and ancient amphibians—ancestors to modern terrestrial life.

We have partnered with a number of local hotels in the Wrexham area to offer exclusive preferential rates from £90 for visitors booking onto our experiences and events. Simply mention Stori Brymbo booking when reserving your room.
