Take your time on this route, the views are amazing.

The castle was built in 1295 by Roger Mortimer de Chirk, uncle of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March as part of King Edward I's chain of fortresses across the north of Wales, guarding the entrance to the Ceiriog Valley. It was the administrative centre for the Marcher Lordship of Chirkland. The castle was bought by Sir Thomas Myddelton in 1593 for £5,000 (approx. £18 million as of 2024). His son, Thomas Myddelton of Chirk Castle was a Parliamentarian during the English Civil War, but became a Royalist during the 'Cheshire rising' of 1659 led by George Booth, 1st Baron Delamer. Mullioned and transomed windows were inserted in the 16th and 17th centuries; the castle was partly demolished in the English Civil War and then rebuilt. Following the Restoration, his son became Sir Thomas Myddelton, 1st Baronet of Chirke. The castle passed down in the Myddelton family to Charlotte Myddelton (on the death of her father in 1796). Charlotte had married Robert Biddulph, who changed his name to Robert Myddelton-Biddulph, leaving the castle on his death to their son Robert. It then passed down in the Myddelton-Biddulph family.

Truly amazing views at this point some good climb but well worth for the views

Cup and Saucer waterfall Emes created gravelled walks throughout the large pleasure grounds, planted many trees which are still thriving today, and manipulated the flow of water across the park through a series of cascades and weirs. His most unique alteration to the Erddig landscape was the Cup and Saucer waterfall. This feature, which you can still see today, works by gathering water in a shallow circular stone basin with a cylindrical waterfall at its centre. The water falls through this cascade and then emerges from a tunnel several yards downstream.

With a diverse parkland, Erddig is brimming with grassland, lakes, ponds, rivers, veteran trees and woodland. Discover scenery that ranges from the Clywedog river and peaceful woodland landscape of Big Wood, to famous architectural features like the ‘cup and saucer’ and the dramatic escarpment that leads to Wat’s Dyke. Explore the remains of a Norman motte and bailey castle.
