Route Details
Baton Of Hope Wrexham - Chirk Route
The day will begin with Project Lead Susan Dray bringing the Baton into Wrexham aboard her narrowboat along the Llangollen Canal in Chirk. From there, Susan will walk the short distance to Caffi Wylfa, where we’ll officially launch the day with our very first Hope Hub. Join us there for a complimentary breakfast, guest speakers, and a chance to see the Baton set off on its Wrexham journey.
From Caffi Wylfa, the tour will officially start and the Baton will be carried on foot through Chirk, passing from Baton Bearer to Baton Bearer. This section of the walk ends at the ‘White Gates’ of Chirk Castle.
At that point, the Baton will take a short ride in style - transported by motorcycle and sidecar - up to the main entrance gates of Chirk Castle. From there, our Baton Bearers will once again take over, carrying it up the grand driveway and through the stunning castle grounds.
Chirk Castle marks the second Hope Hub of the day, with more activities, speakers, entertainment and complimentary refreshments.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
