A new walk, starting at the Mow Cop Castle (just a folly, not a real castle). At least, that was the plan. After finally finding it (it's not very well signposted, and the car park is the other side of the Castle Road) it turned out that the parking was only for 2 hours, and our walk was at least 4 hours. So we had a quick look, then relocated to Little Moreton Hall, which was a diversion on the route, but now became the start before heading off to the Cheshire hills.
Luckily this also meant we got to take a few shots of Little Moreton Hall itself, before it was overrun with tourists. The lawn where we took the photos had become an impromptu car park by the time we got back from the walk.
The walk itself isn't spectacular, but is a pleasant mix of grassy fields, canal side paths and hill climbing, without being too exhausting. The only downside is the half-way pub only served Tetley or Heineken. Where's my real ale?!
