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.

Cup and Saucer waterfall Emes created gravelled walks throughout the large pleasure grounds, planted many trees which are still thriving today, and manipulated the flow of water across the park through a series of cascades and weirs. His most unique alteration to the Erddig landscape was the Cup and Saucer waterfall. This feature, which you can still see today, works by gathering water in a shallow circular stone basin with a cylindrical waterfall at its centre. The water falls through this cascade and then emerges from a tunnel several yards downstream.

With a diverse parkland, Erddig is brimming with grassland, lakes, ponds, rivers, veteran trees and woodland. Discover scenery that ranges from the Clywedog river and peaceful woodland landscape of Big Wood, to famous architectural features like the ‘cup and saucer’ and the dramatic escarpment that leads to Wat’s Dyke. Explore the remains of a Norman motte and bailey castle.

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.

Maiden Castle is an Iron Age hill fort constructed around 600 BC. The fort would have been used as an important line of defence until the Roman conquest in the 1st century AD. Today, the hill fort is a scheduled Ancient Monument owned by the National Trust. Set amongst beautiful Bickerton Hills and forests, the hill fort is a popular place to hike and cycle.

This stunning section takes you over Bickerton Hill, past the Iron Age hillfort of Maiden Castle, and over Larkton Hill. You are afforded breathtaking views that stretch as far as Wales. The area is a rugged lowland scrub which has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Site of Biological Importance.
