Shropshire
While living in Chirk Bank, you can’t get much closer to the Welsh border. Located on the Shropshire/Wrexham border, Chirk is a small and quaint village that’s rich in history. Enjoy everything that a small community village provides, complemented by the stunning Welsh scenery.
Over the border, you have many modern amenities near to Chirk Bank, including a food shop, community hospital and a train station, connecting you to large, bustling cities like Cardiff and Birmingham. This makes Chirk Bank the perfect location to reside for those who need to commute, but want to reside in a rural setting.
As well as public transport, Chirk Bank is situated right next to the A5, meaning you can easily drive to Wrexham in the north (via the A483) or English towns like Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Telford and beyond.
Living in Chirk Bank, you’ll be within walking distance to both pubs within the village. The Bridge Inn is a proper country pub. Situated on the banks of the river, you’ll be able to enjoy some quality homemade meals, socialise with a drink in hand, all with gorgeous views of the water to boot. On the other side of the village, it’s the same story with The Poachers. Watch the boats pass you by as you look onto the Shropshire Union Canal from this modern family pub and restaurant.
You’ll have all you need to help you make yourself at home in Chirk Bank. If you have a green thumb, the local gardening centre can assist you in turning your new garden (at your new Primesave home!) into a haven for your plants to grow.
Both North and South of the border, there are plenty of schools for children of all age groups. With a variety of nurseries, primary and secondary schools located nearby, you can be sure that your children are receiving a great education, whilst not having to travel too far from home.
While on face value there isn’t much to explore, it’s in fact the exact opposite. Only a short distance from Chirk Bank is the gateway to the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), a vast area, filled with walks, National Trust sites and divine scenery. Even before you make it, you’ll come across another sight to behold. Completed over 200 years ago by Shropshire icon Thomas Telford, the Chirk Aqueduct is an example of awe-inspiring canal architecture and a perfect day out for the whole family.
