Hanmer Mere (Welsh: Llyn Hanmer) is a natural lake and a site of Special Scientific Interest in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. The village of Hanmer is at the northern end of the lake. The lake is 18 hectares (44 acres) in extent.

Hanmer is home to one of the nine Meres in this part of the world and it is a beautiful tranquil place. Having the bulk of St Chad's church looking down over the whole scene just adds to the ambience of the whole place.

Handy place to stop if you want a nice quite spot by a lake. There's also a small store on the corner if you want to buy a snack or drink.

With a lot of pleasure I stopped by and sat on a bench admiring the beauty of the Mere.

With more than 18 different species of bog moss, Fenns, Whixall & Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve provides important habitat for rare animals and plants such as bog rosemary, lesser bladderwort, and golden bogmoss sphagnum pulchrum (great names, right?!). Look out for adders and common lizards, which thrive here, as you roam the boggy landscapes.
