Default Chirk Castle
Chirk Castle is a 700 year old marcher fortress, which commands fine views over the surrounding countryside. It was built in the late 13th century by Roger Mortimer, Justice of North Wales for Edward 1. The castle was sold for 5,000 UK pounds to Sir Thomas Myddelton in 1595 and his descendants continue to live in part of the castle today.

Hope you enjoy xx

Think your photos to large for the format. Read the rules. Otherwise I liike the capture and the sky is great with the light fluffy clouds.

Good capture.

One of many great National Trust locations, it's about 6 years since I was there - so I guess it's time for revisit.

Great shot, It pulls me in, and it feels like I just want to go and explore more of it.
