About House By The Dyke

The holiday home boasts a large rear terrace with a seating area and lawned gardens, perfect for relaxing and admiring this spectacular countryside.

Enjoy a long, lazy alfresco lunch with all the family before exploring the nearby Chirk Castle and its grounds. Take a tour with one of our rangers and see how the support from your stay helps us to care for these special places. You can also pick up information on the many walking trails available, including the famous Offa’s Dyke. 

Further afield, experience the slower paced life of the beautiful canals of Llangollen. Eryri (Snowdonia), with its spectacular mountains and towering waterfalls, is also just a short drive away
