Chirk Castle stands close to the border with England in the area that was once a battle ground between the two kingdoms. It was built in the 13th century, as part of a group of castles built in the reign of Edward I. King Edward was known as 'Hammer of the Scots' and but before he began hammering north of the border he had successfully brought the Welsh under his control, building many castles which created bases of Norman power throughout the country.
