Located 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Wrexham town centre, it was built in 1684–1687 for Josiah Edisbury, the High Sheriff of Denbighshire; it was designed in 1683 by Thomas Webb. Erddig has one of the last surviving 18th-century gardens with a large walled garden and Victorian parterre, and extensive designed parkland which offers 13 miles of footpaths.
