Chirk Marina sits on the Llangollen Canal in North Wales, near Wrexham (LL14 5AD), just below the Whitehouse Tunnel. It functions as a boatyard and narrowboat hire base, offering direct access to one of Britain's most celebrated waterways.

From here, boaters can cruise east toward the walled city of Chester via the Four Counties Ring, or head west through the tunnel and across the spectacular Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which carries the canal high above the Dee Valley.

The nearby Montgomery Canal, recently reopened after decades of closure, provides an additional cruising option. The marina is also conveniently close to the National Trust's Chirk Castle.
