The village’s most popular and interesting landmark is Rossett Mill, a Grade II* listed watermill built in 1588. The building has now been privately bought but is occasionally open to the public for visiting. Another beautiful mill, the Marford Mill, sits opposite Rossett Mill and is now home to the UK’s largest shooting association.
Rossett may be a small village, but it does not lack a choice of delicious food on offer! Situated right on the riverside is The Alyn, a country pub offering excellent food and boasting fantastic views of the countryside and River Alyn. Elsewhere in the village is another restaurant; the Machine House, and The Golden Lion; a cosy and welcoming pub serving locally sourced food and ales.
The towns of Wrexham and Chester are both close by, with a regular bus service running through the village to both. Wrexham is a historic market town which has recently been transformed into a paradise for keen shoppers due to its abundance of large retail and independent shops. Wrexham also has the biggest market in North Wales and runs every Monday, a must-visit during your stay at Rossett. Similarly, Chester is also steeped in history, with Roman remains and spectacular Tudor architecture, as well as an extremely popular Chester Zoo, a particular favourite with the kids, and a race course.
For those that enjoy a spot of golf, the Darland Golf Course is situated between Ross and the neighbouring village of Pulford. The 9-hole course offers stunning views of the Clwydian Hills and Trevalyn Meadows, along with a clubhouse offering refreshments and a selection of tea, coffee and cold drinks.
