In the near distance Bateswood Country Park perfect for walking, bike or horse riding with a beautiful lake and nature reserve. Further afield to the left the Shropshire Hills including The Long Mynd and The Wrekin to the right is Runcorn Power Station
and Liverpools two Cathedrals ( it is said on a clear day with good binoculars you can see Blackpool Tower ) look straight ahead beyond the castles of Beeston and Peckforton to The Berwyn Mountains, Exclusham Mountains Llangollen and beyond.Of course there's a lot in between and the resident telescope is a great help.
