The Cage is a 16th-century folly in Lyme Park, a country estate managed by the National Trust. From this prominent position, you get breathtaking views that stretch east to Kinder Scout in the Peak District and west over Manchester and the Cheshire Plain. On clear days, views stretch as far as the coast by Liverpool.

A gentle climb up the hill to The Cage. Don't forget to look for the OS benchmark carved onto the side of the building!
