Pup Obi Travels

Deep in the depths of Cheshire lies the hill range that holds Beeston castle and the Victorian Gothic house Peckforton Castle yes i did say hills, Cheshire does in fact have hills. A ridge of hills runs from Runcorn to the North passing Frodsham, Helsby and the down past Bunbury. The hill range is part of the Sandstone Trail which runs the whole length of the hill range. From the hills you can some impressie views across Cheshire West and East.

The gatehouse which lies just off Peckforton Road. It’s an impressive building which you have to pass through to reach the castle which lies above. Our walk passed the gatehouse and across the fields towards Beeston Castle. Cheshire does have some beautiful countryside to explore. This will be the start. The fields of crops against the treelines.

The hills around Peckforton are also stunning. We walked around the base of Beeston Castle, out into the fields which provided views back over to both castles before we walked back into the woods and over the tiop back to the entrance to Peckforton Castle.

Crossing various fields we walked back up and over through Peckforton Forest which drapes itself over the hill the castle sits on. It was quite atmospheric in places, as the trees grow quite close together and dense in places.

Warm, sunny and a pleasant walk. Worth coming back to explore more of this area of Cheshire. If you have never been get yourself down here and start exploring Cheshire.
