What is recorded here
Rose garden at Chirk Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Wrexham, Wales. Perhaps the roses grew so thick they hid the castle walls from passing riders. Maybe lovers met beneath the thorns while guard towers watched from above. Imagine red petals falling across stone steps worn smooth by centuries of feet.

Built by the Myddelton family in the 17th century, Chirk Castle's rose garden is remembered for its historical association with the prominent Welsh gentry and as an example of early formal garden design in North Wales.
