Chirk Castle is without doubt one of the finest tourist attractions in the local area, packed with history and culture from over 7 centuries.

Located in 500 acres of historic parkland, Chirk Castle is one in a chain of fortresses built in the late 13th Century to maintain the conquests of Edward I in Wales. Many of its Medieval owners were powerful and important figures in English history.

Surrounded by over 10 acres of award winning gardens, Chirk Castle is now owned and run by the National Trust and open to visitors Wednesday to Sunday between April and October each year.

Welcome to Whittington Castle near Oswestry in Shropshire England. The strikingly picturesque and romantic ruins are steeped in much history, tales of bitter border warfare, romance and legend.

A small rural community in North Shropshire, England has acquired a 99 year lease to manage the Castle that sits in the centre of its village. The Trust is delighted to announce that a £1.5m project to repair and restore Whittington Castle has just been completed with the assistance of a £950k grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
We believe ours is the only Castle in the UK which is owned and run by a local community.

The existing Castle is set in about 12 acres of ground and is the remains of a Norman home.
