The Clywedog Valley is a valley and river in North Wales, near Wrexham. The river is a tributary of the River Dee.

The valley has many tourist attractions including Minera Leadmines, Nant Mill, Erddig, Bersham Ironworks and Kings Mill. It travels down the Clywedog valley, and then around the town of Wrexham, emptying into the Dee near the Wrexham Industrial Estate.

The river itself is Wrexham's largest tourist attraction, and a long path (The Clywedog Trail) along the valley and river connects Minera Leadmines, Nant Mill, Erddig and Kings Mills, all along the river.
