Hiking
Mow Cop Castle is a famous landmark in Mow Cop, a village situated on a moorland ridge. The castle is actually a folly summerhouse, built to look like a ruin in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. From the castle, you get a jaw-dropping panoramic view of the Staffordshire moorlands and the Cheshire Plain.

Hiking
Mow Cop is the southernmost outcrop in Cheshire of hard sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level. At its highest point stands a mock tower that was built as a summer house in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. This tower is visible for miles around and is a major landmark visited throughout the year. Interestingly, it was the location for the first Primitive Methodist service in 1807.
