Chirk Bank is a small village in Shropshire, England, sitting on the English side of the border opposite Chirk in Wales. It lies close to the wooded Ceiriog Valley and the historic transport landscape of the area, with the Llangollen Canal and the impressive Chirk Aqueduct and viaduct within easy reach, while Chirk Castle is a short distance away.
The locality has been shaped by canals, railways and former local industries, but today is largely residential and popular with walkers, canal enthusiasts and commuters heading to Wrexham or Oswestry. Community life reflects the border setting, with a mix of English and Welsh cultural influences and a relaxed rural character.
