Chirk is also part of the 11 mile corridor of the Pontcysyllte World Heritage site just a few miles away.
This pretty border town is a regular entrant to the Wales in Bloom competition and to Britain in Bloom. A volunteer community group, Chirk Community Forum, is responsible for organising and coordinating the entry.
Facilities in the town include post office and bank, restaurants and cafes, hotel, bed and breakfast accommodation and many food retail outlets.
There is a regular bus service to Oswestry for the town centre. |
