CHIRK CASTLE

Very pleasant visit in a very different castle. We are here in a beautiful house built in 1300, on the model of Beaumaris, but whose interior dates mainly from the 18th century (rich furniture, majestic staircase, Mortlake tapestries ...). The building is still partly inhabited by the Myddelton family since 1595, when their ancestor bought the castle for £5,000.

Don't miss the superb park, a small jewel of English gardens, laid out at the end of the 18th century by a great British landscape architect Lancelot "Capability" Brown.
