A MEETING OF COUNTIES


Perhaps one of Cheshire's most enchanting locations is the remote ancient Packhorse Bridge that crosses the infant River Dane close to Cut Thorn Hill at Three Shires Head.


The unusual name is derived from the simultaneous border confluence of the counties of Cheshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire uniting at the bridge itself.


A combination of deep cut valley, ancient stone arched bridge and a delightful waterfall that tumbles into Pannier's Pool makes this location a mecca for artists and photographers alike.


Here, a rambler visits the location just as autumn begins to gain a foothold, altering the hues of golden bracken on the hillside above.
