Hidden away down country roads is a stunning castle that offers dramatic 360° views.
Beeston Castle is less than an hour away from Liverpool in Tarporley, Cheshire, but it can feel like you are stepping back in time as you get a glimpse of what it might have been like when the incredible structure was built hundreds of years ago. The impressive medieval castle is perched on a rocky sandstone crag 350 feet above the Cheshire plain and boasts a rich 4,000 year history, along with a 40-acre woodland park.
It is a steep climb up the hill through a wooded area to the ruins of the 13th century outer gatehouse. The main feature of the site is the inner gatehouse, which was likely the first part of the structure to be built in the 1220s.
