Hiking
Helsby Hill is an Iron Age hillfort commanding a prominent position above Helsby village and grand views in all directions. Combining both natural and human-made features, steep cliffs on the northern and western sides would have provided a natural semicircular defence, while double rampart earthworks to the south and east would have provided protection to those sides.

Hiking
Probably the highest spot on the walk, open and breezy with a panoramic view of the Mersey estuary. You deserve a breather here!
