Chirk circular including the aquaduct, castle and tunnel

Starting from the old police station we head across the aquaduct, along the canal and cross the railway line at the end of the viaduct. From there we have a series of ascents for a couple of miles (but nothing too strenuous) as we head towards Bronygarth and Starlings Castle, then a nice long steady descent through woodland into Pontfadog. From there we have further ascents, a couple of which are steep but short, and another steady descent through more woodland heading towards the final hill giving us the first full sight of the castle. We pass through the castle grounds to the famous gates, turning left for the last leg through the tunnel. Anyone who hasn't walked through this tunnel before please be aware it's so long it loses daylight in the centre so you will need a torch!
Just under 12 miles in all and many fabulous views along the way.
