Places in Cheshire with a View

Hills, edges and long looks across the Cheshire Plain.

People think Cheshire is flat. Stand on Helsby Hill at teatime, or on the Cloud at sunrise with the whole plain full of mist, and you'll know better.

This book walks the rim of the Cheshire bowl. The red sandstone hills above the Mersey. The long ridge of the Sandstone Trail, from Frodsham to Malpas. The gritstone edges where the county climbs into the Peak District, all the way to Shining Tor, the highest point in Cheshire.

Twenty hills, every one with a view worth the climb. For each you get the walk to the top, a key to what you're looking at, the story of the place, the rock under your feet and the folklore that goes with it. 136 pages, full colour, A5 paperback, printed to order by Lulu, so allow a week or two for it to arrive.
