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 Castle, in the care of The National Trust, England. This is number 11 for 12 months of the same image.
I've taken this with a fisheye lens for a more panoramic capture. You can see from this shot how the castle sits high up on a cliff edge, seen to the right.
It doesn't look it but it's blowing a hoolie up at the top!

Mow Cop with the moon at its closest pass in 18 years at 356,577 kilometers (221,567 miles) away from earth.
This is one shot taken with a Canon EOS 1D, 500mm f/4 + 2X converter.
It was shot 1.6 miles away from Mow Cop on the A34 between Congleton and Stoke on Trent.
England
As you can see, there was a storm brewing over the Cheshire Plain and heading towards Mow Cop Castle. The blue skies are fast disappearing. I'm standing in sunny Staffordshire looking out over the county of Cheshire.
Wild flowers and a host of butterflies now greet you as you climb the hill to the top. Skippers, Meadow Browns, Gatekeepers and Small Whites today. The wild Thyme is out, smells gorgeous too...and the Bilberrys are growing nicely. I did a small walk up through the top of the village following the Gritstone Trail to the base of the castle. Got back to my car just as the heavens opened and it poured down. 2 hours later and we were back to sunshine again...oh we just love our English summers! :))))
Zoom in and you can plainly see (just to the left of the castle) the white dish of the famous Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank.
The most striking feature of the Lovell Telescope is the huge white bowl that can be seen for many miles around. This bowl, fashioned in the shape of a paraboloid, is the part of the telescope that gathers incoming radio waves and since 1957 it has been quietly probing the depths of space.

This racist cop is ticketing this cab for an expired meter even though she knows the driver is in the mosk across the street enjoying an afternoon pray. This has been going on for years, cops target muslims at prayer for an easy ticket. Where is the freedom of religion promised in the constitution?
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Truck Thursday!
This beautiful 1950 Chevy was part of the Mount Angel Car show in Mount Angel, Oregon.
Christmas and New Year engineering works caused the diversion of some WCML freights and other workings over the North Staffs line through Congleton.
Freightliner Class 66/9 No. 66951 passes Mow Cop after sunset working 4L49, the 15:18 Trafford Park – London Gateway intermodal on 2 January 2025.
Officer Baconworthy: "Put down the megaphone."
James: "It's not illegal to use a megaphone."
Officer Baconworthy: "Yes it is; you need a permit to use it."
James: "We tried applying for a permit but West Des Moines city hall told us it was not required." (True story, as the megaphone is a 10 watt device, and devices that require a permit are 50+ watt amplifiers.)
Officer Baconworthy: "You can either put down the megaphone, or you can go to jail."
We, of course, did not go to jail, but continued using the megaphone. This prompted two more cops to show up, who again failed to take us to jail.
