Chirk Castle, Wrexham - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

The Grade I listed Chirk Castle stands as a sentinel guarding the entrance to the Ceiriog Valley in Wales. Built in 1295 by Roger Mortimer de Chirk, it formed a crucial link in King Edward I’s defensive chain across North Wales.

The parkland to the castle is vast so for drone shots I used zoom from a road a Kilometre away (close up orbit was from a friends footage). There is a closer take off point that I’ll add instead and for the more adventurous the Offa’s Dyke Path runs through the property.

I parked in the the NT carpark as I am a member and refreshments is of course available from there.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 22/07/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

That was a brilliant little video and very informative.
Plenty of shots overhead as well as on the ground and inside.

Great work! :clap::wink::+1:
