An Easy Walk around Hope Mountain

Starting from Caergwrle, this walk climbs steeply to the hill of Hope Mountain.

It may only be a tad over 300m in height, but overlooks the Cheshire Plain with far reaching views. Truly the last gasp of the Welsh hills before giving way to the more pastoral English landscape.
