Chirk aqueduct, built by Thomas Telford and William Jessop, is part of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the Llangollen Canal World Heritage Site. It has a figure of eight walk that starts at 'Glyn Wylfa' in Chirk and passes through fields, along the Llangollen Canal and across the Chirk Aqueduct. This walk can be halved by omitting the loop from Chirk Bank via Rhoswiel, or by getting the bus to Rhoswiel.

The route along the canal through Chirk passes over an aquaduct and through a tunnel. It is quite an easy walk with various pubs along the way.

Chirk Aqueduct is a 70-foot (21 m) high and 710-foot (220 m) long navigable aqueduct that carries what is now the Llangollen Canal across the Ceiriog Valley near Chirk, on the England-Wales border, spanning the two countries. Great for walks over the aqueduct if you’re brave enough! A spot of lunch in the local pub third or walk to the bottom via a trail for some great photos
