The Castle was built as a summerhouse in 1754 for Randle Wilbraham I of Rode Hall. It was built to look like part of a castle of a bygone era, and would have enhanced the view of the newly constructed Rode Hall some 3 miles away on the Cheshire side of the hill. Mr. Wilbraham employed local stonemasons John and Ralph Harding. It is said they were paid 1 shilling a day, and one of the members of the family lost a hand while constructing the castle. The Wilbraham family used the summerhouse for picnics and entertaining friends on days out.

Thank you so much for your visit!
It's not a castle or a house, or even a ruin. It's the southernmost outcrop in Cheshire of hard sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level. At its highest point stands a mock tower that was built as a summer house in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. This tower is visible for miles around and is a major landmark visited throughout the year. Interestingly, it was the location for the first Primitive Methodist service in 1807.
It's a bit of a strange place with people going up there at all times of the day or night in all conditions, some for the most bizarre reasons. Drinks, drugs, weddings, prayers, sightseeing, sun and moon worship, it has been the setting for a few of my adventures in the past too. See my Mow Cop album!
Anyhow, this shot was a dud. Something has gone wildly wrong in my processing factory!!! Possibly caused by too much booze.
Mow Cop
Mow Cop Castle is a folly in the civil parish of Odd Rode in Cheshire. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It sits on a ridge which forms the boundary between the counties of Cheshire and Staffordshire. Traces of a prehistoric settlement have been found here.
In 1754 a man called Randle Wilbraham of nearby Rode Hall, a Georgian Country Manor House, built this elaborate summerhouse to look like a medieval fortress with a round tower.
The area around the castle was nationally famous for the quarrying of high-quality millstones or querns, for use in water mills. Excavations have found querns dating back to the Iron Age.
The Castle was given to the National Trust in 1937.
The round windows in the tower look like eyes to me, gazing out across the countryside.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Mow Cop or cow mop! it was so windy and there was little chance of using the drone. so simple torch light was needed. I spent 3 hours here and this was one of the better shots
