Pandy (ⓘ) is a hamlet in the Ceiriog Valley, Wrexham County Borough, Wales.[1] It is located on the confluence of the River Ceiriog to the east, and the smaller River Teirw flowing from Nantyr moors to the north-west.[2][3] The river level at Pandy of the River Ceiriog is ~665 feet (203 m), downstream from Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, and upstream from Glyn Ceiriog.[4]
Pandy means "fulling mill" in Welsh. The hamlet is home to a fulling mill thought to be the oldest fulling mill in Wales. Dating to 1365, the mill was later converted into a pub known as the Woolpack Inn, also providing visitor accommodation, and until 2016, was home to the Pandy Mill Gallery, dedicated to glass art.[4][5] Minerals were also extracted from the local Pandy area, including silica, dolerite, and China stone. Craig y Pandy (the Pandy crags) composed of Volcanic tuff overlooks the hamlet.[2] The Glyn Valley Tramway used to pass the hamlet and was the main transport link of the hamlet, since superseded by the B4500 road which passes through the hamlet.[3]
In November 2020, during a 17-day lockdown concerning the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, the hamlet experienced very low broadband speeds with costs the expand fibre broadband considered expensive at the time.[6]
