Gwersyllt (Welsh pronunciation: [ɡwɛrsɪɬt]) is an urban village and community in Wrexham County Borough, Wales.

The name is usually stated to be derived from the Welsh word, gwersyll, meaning "campsite", with the final t common in the area's dialect.

[3] This is, however, a comparatively modern form, and during the mediaeval period the name was written as "Wershull" or "Wersull", with "Gwershull" and "Wersham" occurring in the 16th century.

[7] The village grew rapidly with the local coal mining industry and the area was home to several collieries, of which many features still remain.

In the mid-20th century, large council estates were built amongst the existing village, extending the size of the community and its services substantially.

Gwersyllt Community Council covers a wider area, including Summerhill, Bradley, Rhosrobin, Moss, Parkwall and Sydallt.

The school additionally offers an outdoor astroturf multi-use games area, situated adjacent to the leisure centre.

However a number of industrial warehouses continue, namely of building supplies, car sales and double-glazing window manufacturing.

Public bus transport is provided by Arriva Buses Wales on services from Wrexham to Summerhill, Mold, Flint and Deeside on Monday to Saturdays.

A reduced service operates on Sundays and bank holidays, subsidised by Wrexham Council and provided by Arriva.
