Historically Sedbury sits alongside the southern end of Offa's Dyke a defensive ditch and dyke built by King Offa of Mercia to mark the Wales-Mercia border.
Sedbury is the location of Wyedean Comprehensive School, one of the schools attended by author JK Rowling and Offa's Mead Primary School.
Sedbury is the beginning of a famous Offa's Dyke Walk stretching the length of the border of Wales ending in Prestatyn.
