Overview

Walk starts from the far end of Chirk Castle National Trust car park. 4 miles, moderate, mostly up and downhill, some steep sections, very few flat sections, but with great views. Bring coffee for a stop en route.

We should be back at the Castle for lunch time where you have 3 options:

  1. Eat your own packed lunch at one of the picnic tables
  2. Buy lunch at the Castle café
  3. Depart

After this there is the option to see the spectacular Christmas decorations in the castle. Entry is free to National Trust members but £16 for non-members.
