Chirk, Wrexham, LL14 5PA

Chirk is a town and community in Wrexham County Borough, Wales, 10 miles south of Wrexham, between it and Oswestry. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 4,468. Historically in the traditional county of Denbighshire, and later Clwyd, it has been part of Wrexham County Borough since a local government reorganisation in 1996. The border with the English county of Shropshire is immediately south of the town, on the other side of the River Ceiriog. The town’s setting offers a rural atmosphere with proximity to larger urban centres, and its location near the border provides access to both Welsh and English communities. The population size suggests a small-town feel with community facilities that cater to local residents.
