CHESHIRE PANORAMA


Maybe the finest panoramic vista in Cheshire.


This site was originally a Bronze Age hillfort some 4,000 years ago, and has been garrisoned on and off right up until its final sacking by Parliamentarian troops in 1645 during the English Civil War.


The accompanying image shows the magnificent views on offer from the inner bailey atop this ruined 13th century stronghold.


On a clear day it is possible to see a total of eight counties from this position, making it one of the most popular picnic sites in the whole of Cheshire.
