About

Chirk North ward lies on the western edge of Wrexham County Borough, bordering Shropshire in England. The area is defined by the Ceiriog Valley, with the River Ceiriog flowing through its southern part. It encompasses the historic border town of Chirk itself, along with surrounding villages like Froncysyllte and Glyn Ceiriog. The landscape is a mix of wooded valleys and pastoral farmland, with the Berwyn mountains forming a backdrop to the west.

The ward is historically significant, anchored by Chirk Castle, a medieval Marcher fortress with extensive parkland. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, carries the Llangollen Canal high above the valley near Froncysyllte. Local industry has traditionally included agriculture and quarrying, with the area maintaining a distinct community feel separate from the larger urban centres to the east.
