Overview

A scenic walk exploring the picturesque landscapes and rich history along the Wales-England border. The route follows the lower reaches of the River Ceiriog, where you'll experience the charm of this natural boundary. 

The walk includes a stop at the impressive Chirk Castle, a historic Marcher stronghold offering a glimpse into the region's past. The journey culminates with a spectacular crossing of the Chirk Aqueduct, a marvel of engineering that connects England and Wales, providing panoramic views of the Ceiriog Valley.
