Chirk






The castle for today's blog (and over the next few days too) is Chirk Castle near Wrexham in North Wales.  This Medieval castle was completed in 1310 so was built some time after Portchester Castle which featured in the last two posts.  

I have chosen a mixture of colour and black & white shots today.  The colour images show the warmth of the stone walls.  I think the door in the second picture is a really nice feature and the picture of the lantern also highlights the quality of the stonework.

This is a great place to visit any time of the year, there is always something new to see and as the place is managed by the National Trust there are often special events which bring the castle to life.

  1. Nice, I like the circular tower like structure. I would enjoy such a structure, would have it on the south facing side of the house so that it would receive sunlight into the room all day.
