St Michael's Church, is the only church in Chirbury, and is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel. It is Church of England (Diocese of Hereford) and the Chirbury ecclesiastical parish covers a smaller area than the civil parish, including Wotherton, but not Brompton, Marton or Middleton. Originally an Anglo-Saxon church, founded in 915 (with the building of the fort) or possibly earlier, the current building largely dates to the late 12th century with the tower constructed around 1300, and a short chancel added in 1733. The church was restored in 1871–72 by Edward Haycock junior. The tower and body of the church are constructed in limestone rubble with pink sandstone ashlar dressings and slate roofs; the chancel is in red brick with a tiled roof. The church was reformed into the priory church of the Augustinian Chirbury Priory upon the moving of the order from nearby Snead by 1227. With the dissolution of the priory in 1535 St Michael's became a parish church once again. The church building is a Grade I Listed building. Remnants of the former priory can be seen in the churchyard and some stonework was also incorporated into the adjacent Chirbury Hall.

The Montgomeryshire County War Memorial stands on top of Town Hill next to the trig point at 320m. It stands in memory of the people of Montgomeryshire killed at war. Originally erected and dedicated to those killed in WW1 it has since been redesignated in memory of all lives lost in conflict. The Town Hill is a nice walk from Montgomery town and offers great views of the surrounding countryside.

Montgomery Castles ruins sit on a steep crag above Montgomery with views over the English - Welsh border. Building started in 1223 but like many of the castles nearby it fell in the English Civil War and was partially destroyed in 1649 to stop it being used by the Royalists. Now it's managed by Cadw and open daily from 10:00 - 18:00 during the summer and 10:00 - 16:00 in the winter. Admission is free. It's about a 3 min walk from the road so push your bike or lock it safely.
