Oswestry (Market Day) & Chirk Castle

including entrance

Historic Oswestry began 3000 years ago at Old Oswestry, the iron age hill fort. Since then our lively market town has grown. It is now surrounded by awesome castles and stunning industrial heritage..
Chirk Castle was completed in 1310. With over 700 years of history the many occupants have left behind lavish interiors and a beautiful and eclectic collection. The state rooms include a 17th-century Long Gallery, grand 18th-century saloon with rich tapestries, servants' hall, and the restored East Range, containing the library and 1920s style Bow Room showing off Chirk Castle’s connections to high society.
