Rossett (Welsh: yr Orsedd, yr Orsedd Goch) is a village and a local government community, the lowest tier of local government, part of Wrexham County Borough in Wales. Rossett is served by the A483 road.
At the time of the 2001 Census, Rossett community (including Rossett itself and the villages of Burton, Burton Green and Lavister) had a total population of 3,336 people, the population falling to 3,231 at the 2011 Census.
Rossett is geographically located near to the Welsh and English border towns of Wrexham 6.5 miles (10.5 km) and Chester 7.5 miles (12.1 km). The village sits close to the Wales-England border and is built on the banks of the River Alyn which is a tributary of the River Dee one-and-a-half miles downstream.
Rossett's neighbouring villages are Marford, Burton and Holt and Pulford in England.
The village has two hotels: Llyndir Hall Hotel and Rossett Hall Hotel, a converted mid eighteenth century house. Public houses include the Butcher's Arms, the Golden Lion and the Alyn, all in central Rossett. A short walk out of the village center are two more pubs the Griffin Inn and the Nags Head.
Christ Church, completed in 1892 replacing an earlier church on the same site, is of Gothic Revival design. The village's war memorial is sited in its churchyard. Other places of worship include the Old Church, the Catholic Church of Christ the King, a Baptist church and a Presbyterian Chapel.
Trevalyn Hall is a Grade II* listed Elizabethan manor house built in 1576. The house and its grounds were owned by the Trevor family for several generations. During the 1980s the building was converted into apartments.
