Overview

We will start by walking up through the Chirk Estate parkland, past the Castle to join Offa’s Dyke Path. We follow this towards Fron, then drop down through fields and a wood to join the canal towpath. We then follow this back to Chirk, passing through the 175m Whitehouses tunnel en route - BRING A TORCH. Stops for coffee and lunch.
