PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES AT CHIRK CASTLE

Photography Courses at Chirk Castle

Digital Photography on the Welsh Borders

Chirk Castle provides us with opportunities for subjects from landscape photography to architecture and close-up photography.

Chirk has 700 years of history, award-winning gardens, a lime tree avenue and amazing yew topiary. Completed in 1310, Chirk is the last Welsh castle from the reign of Edward I still lived in today. Features from its 700 years include the medieval tower and dungeon, 18th-century servants' hall and 20th-century laundry. In the award-winning gardens are clipped yews, herbaceous borders and a stunning shrub garden, with many rare varieties. Other areas are more informal, with a thatched 'Hawk House' and rock garden. A terrace with stunning views looks out over the Cheshire and Salop plains and leads to a classical pavilion and 17th-century lime tree avenue.

The 18th-century parkland provides a habitat for rare invertebrates and contains many mature trees and also some splendid wrought-iron gates, made in 1719 by the Davies brothers.
