Completed by Marcher Lord Roger Mortimer, in 1310, Chirk is the last Welsh castle from the reign of Edward I still inhabited today. You can explore medieval towers and dungeons, visit the 17th and 18th-century rooms of the Myddelton family home, including the historic laundry, and discover the story of influential 20th-century tenant and polymath Lord Howard de Walden.
The prized gardens contain clipped yews, herbaceous borders and rock gardens. A terrace gives stunning views over the Cheshire and Shropshire plains, while the large estate, divided by King Offa’s Dyke, provides habitat for rare invertebrates, wild flowers and veteran trees.

Wedi’i gwblhau gan Arglwydd y Mers, Roger Mortimer, ym 1310, y Waun yw’r castell Cymreig olaf o deyrnasiad Edward I yr oedd pobl yn dal i fyw ynddo heddiw. Gallwch archwilio tyrau a daeargelloedd canoloesol, ymweld ag ystafelloedd cartref y teulu Myddelton o'r 17eg a'r 18fed ganrif, gan gynnwys y golchdy hanesyddol, a darganfod stori tenant dylanwadol yr 20fed ganrif a'r polymath yr Arglwydd Howard de Walden.
