Peckforton Hills
The Peckforton Hills form a distinctive sandstone ridge running through the Cheshire Plain, clothed in ancient woodland and offering views that stretch across a patchwork of fields to the Welsh hills beyond. The ridge has a quiet wildness about it — footpaths wind beneath the oaks, passing outcrops and old earthworks — and it is one of the loveliest walking landscapes in Cheshire. Its character is understated but thoroughly rewarding.
