Beeston Castle is a former Royal castle in Beeston, Cheshire, England, perched on a rocky sandstone crag 350 feet above the Cheshire Plain. It was built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, on his return from the Crusades.

You can view 5 Counties from here. Guess which.

St Alkmund’s Church is a captivating Grade I-listed building. Founded in 912 AD, the church was initially built of white stone, which is why the town is called Whitechurch. However, in 1711 the tower collapsed and had to be rebuilt in red sandstone ashlar, which is why the ‘white church’ looks a little redder than you might expect.

Perched on top of a rocky outcrop high above the Cheshire plain, Beeston Castle is one of the most dramatic ruins in the English landscape. The castle was originally built upon the banks and ditches of an Iron Age hillfort. On a clear day you have spectacular views as far afield as the Pennines to the Welsh mountains. Visit and find out about the castle's 4,000-year history and there is even a 40-acre woodland park to explore. Simply a gem of English heritage.

nice view to the surrounding area. the route to the castle not suitable for a road bike, you may need to carry your bike on some parts

English Heritage maintained castle ruins sitting high on top of the hill. Like so much in the area it was destroyed in the Civil War.

Focal point of the nice town of Whitchurch. The town takes its name from the white stone originally used to make the church, way back in around the 10th Century AD. A very impressive building and well worth checking out if you have time to stop.

Built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, the castle was partly destroyed under Cromwell in the mid-16th century. From the castle, you can see across eight counties; as far as the Welsh mountains in the east and the Pennines to the west. Today, the castle is open on weekends from 10am - 4pm. Entrance costs £8 for adults.

An ancient church built over 1,000 years ago, St Oswald is a focal point of Malpas. Standing on the highest point of the town, it's a prominent feature on the Malpas skyline. A Norman motte and bailey castle would once have stood next to the church but they are now ruined. Although the church has undergone adjustments and renovations during its history, much of the original architecture remains including a 14th-century tower and six-bay nave.
