The estate is located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has also been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest as an important habitat for rare invertebrates, bats, fungi, and wildflowers.

We’ve set up our Woodland Classroom in the heart of the ancient woodland, surrounded by towering trees and woodland wildflowers. We host groups, adult learners and school children here at our basecamp.

Chirk Castle is 7 miles south of Wrexham, 8 miles north of Oswestry and just 5 miles from Llangollen. It’s easily accessible for groups coming buy bus from Chester, Shrewsbury and beyond.

“The ancient trees across the estate provide a rich habitat for many species.” – Carl Green, Chirk Castle Head Ranger

We’re excited to be working in partnership with the National Trust to offer this fantastic and varied estate land to groups for our outdoor education sessions. With natural log seating, a fire pit and a wealth of wildlife, Chirk Castle is perfect for training courses, nature therapy, environmental education and school visits.

If you’re dropping off your loved ones for an event or workshop with us then you have the option to enjoy the estate’s parkland and woodland footpath network or even continue onto the castle itself to experience a wealth of history.
