Chirk Cutting on the Llangollen Canal

A deep cutting leading to Chirk tunnel (see adjacent square). Much of the spoil from this site was moved along the canal to build various embankments. This picture was taken not long after considerable improvement works had been undertaken to the banks and towing path.

Factories

Dominating centre of square! - John Haynes kindly provided the additional information that this plant at Y Waun (Chirk) is the chipboard plant operated by Kronospan, who at the time the photo was taken had recently installed new scrubbers and a wood-burning boiler to help cut back the smell of burning wood.

Chirk Golf Course

The course is viewed from the Llangollen Canal towing path and the sign invites boaters to take a round. The building on the sky-line is Chirk castle.

A5 to Llangollen

The A5, which once wound its way through Chirk, now bypasses it. At the roundabout ahead, just out of sight, the A5 turns right heading for Llangollen in the River Dee Valley on the other side of the hill.

Chirk Marina

Suse

Chirk Marina

On the Llangollen Canal, this is easy to find if travelling by water but a little more challenging by road. The local landowners are the Myddelton family of Chirk Castle which they purchased in the C16th. The marina is home to two boat hire fleets and adjoins the golf course. The railway runs parallel to the canal.

Ground wood reserves

The "Kronospan" wood plant uses the feedstock of ground wood to make MDF and chipboard. The wood waste also feeds the boiler that dries the wood. The large heap acts as a sound barrier as well as providing a strategic reserve. Link

Emerging from Whitehouse tunnel

Whitehouse tunnel takes the Llangollen Canal under the A5 road. The towpath through the tunnel has recently been refurbished, before this you splashed through unseen puddles.

Bank improvements on the Llangollen Canal

Bank erosion is a problem on this the busiest canal in the UK and new methods of control are being tried all the time. The simple solution is to slow the boats down but the average visitor is keen to get to the aqueduct! SJ2741 : Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
