Chirk South is the southern ward of the village of Chirk in Wrexham, Wales, sitting close to the border with England on the banks of the River Ceiriog. The area is notable for its historic landscape - most famously Chirk Castle and the engineering feats associated with the Llangollen Canal, including the dramatic Chirk Aqueduct and tunnel - making it a popular spot for walkers, boaters and heritage visitors.
Once shaped by coal and quarrying, the local economy now mixes tourism, light industry and commuting to nearby towns and centres in Wrexham and neighbouring Shropshire. Community life remains village-centred, with local shops, a station at Chirk railway station and easy access to outdoor routes such as Offa's Dyke, giving the ward a strong sense of place and history.
