Chirk Castle
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-chirkcastle
Chirk Castle has been home to the Myddleton family for more than 500 years, and is the only one of Edward I’s Welsh fortresses still lived in today. As historic gardens go, the ones at Chirk are, well, really historic. They were landscaped in the 18th century by William Emes. There’s 19th century yew topiary, and a 17th century lime tree avenue. In the 20th century it won National Trust Garden of the Year. It covers more than 5 acres at the top of a hill, with views over 9 counties. 8th century Offa’s Dyke practically runs through it. Not the usual thing you find at the bottom of the garden.
