TALE OF TWO CASTLES


Situated in central Cheshire, sitting astride the great sandstone ridgeline that punctuates the vast Cheshire Plain is the fortification of Beeston Castle.


The 13th century castle dominates the skyline of mid Cheshire rising 500 feet above the surrounding countryside.


This location is unusual because it has not one, but two castles in very close proximity. Just on the right of the image one can see the keep of Peckforton Castle rising majestically above the surrounding woodland in the distance.


The two castles tower above a ripened field of Cheshire wheat illuminated by the final golden rays of a summer evening.
