Chirk Town Car Park is a council-managed tarmac surface lot located on Colliery Road, serving Chirk town centre and the nearby country park. The facility offers 60 marked bays, including four Blue Badge spaces near the entrance and two motorcycle bays. It operates 8 am8 pm daily; pay-and-display charges of £1.20 per hour (capped at £5.00 per day) apply via machines accepting coins and contactless. LED lamp columns provide full illumination until midnight, and CCTV cameras monitor all driving lanes. Pedestrian exits lead directly to Chirk Castle entrance (0.2 km), local shops (0.1 km), and the Chirk Aqueduct towpath (0.3 km). Two 7 kW EV chargers are located at the lots southwest corner, billed via QR code. Seasonal horse fair events reduce capacity by 15; signage directs drivers to the Station car park (1 km). Weekly maintenance includes bay repainting and litter clearance.
