Chirk

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Infobox Wales place Chirk (Welsh: Y Waun) is a town in Denbighshire in Wales. Attractions in the town include Chirk Castle, a section of Offa's Dyke and the Chirk Aqueduct on the Llangollen Canal, built in 1801 by Thomas Telford. The Glyn Valley Tramway operated from here. Local government reorganisation has resulted in Chirk's inclusion in the administrative county borough of Wrexham.

The border with Shropshire, England is only a mile south of the town.
