At 716 feet (227 m) Rawhead is the highest point on the Sandstone Trail and affords some wonderful views over Cheshire. A little further down the trail, you reach a cave known as Bloody Bones, which you can peek inside.

Easy walk for stunning views. Not too muddy, so all in all definitely worthwhile

A lovely route with some spectacular views. We took a few wrong turns, but soon got back on track. Lunch at The Pheasant was delicious!
