What visitors say

Cathie Stark

Chirk Castle is well worth a visit, although not all areas of the castle are currently open, and some parts are under renovation. There are guided tours available, which are a great way to learn more about the castle's history. The grounds are extensive, making it perfect for a long walk. It's also a great place for families with young children, as there are picnic areas and a lovely play area in the gardens. The food is quite expensive, so it's worth bringing a packed lunch if you want to save some money. Overall, it's a lovely castle to visit and a great day out.

On a recent trip to Wales 🏴, we visited Chirk Castle and completely fell in love with the place. From the moment you arrive, the castle feels like something out of a storybook — centuries of history, towering stone walls, elegant rooms filled with antique furniture and artwork, and beautifully preserved interiors that transport you back in time. The gardens and surrounding grounds are equally breathtaking, with lush greenery, peaceful walking paths, and stunning countryside views in every direction 🌿. Even with the moody Welsh skies, the entire experience felt magical. A truly beautiful and memorable place that’s absolutely worth visiting.

A very quiet and tranquil place to visit. Lots of history,lots to do. Very knowledgeable staff and friendly with it. Also some great walks around the castle grounds and gardens. Two cafes one in the carpark one in the castle, serving gorgeous ice-cream. Plenty of parking. Worth a visit 👍🏻👍🏻

A lovely property and gardens to visit, beautiful views and very tranquil. Inside the property was interesting as soon as you walk in. The information provided for each room was also helpful and enabled you to look at and appreciate all the artifacts and imagine how people lived and used the property. All the staff were helpful, kind and knowledgeable. We will be back as it would be a great place to bring a book and a picnic and enjoy the scenery.
