👍👍 I would definitely recommend a visit to the Chirk aqueduct if you are in the area. It is well sign posted through the village of Chirk, with car parking close by.

The Abbey its...

We have really enjoyed our stroll around the grounds in this tranquil place. There is a cafe with a good selection of food and drinks...

Informative informatics. Lovely views from the top and lots of wild plants. They have also introduced an Iron Age sheep...
