Panoramic Views of the Staffordshire Moorlands and the Cheshire Plain! | Mow Cop Castle, Cheshire
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2024
- In this video we drove down to one of the very southernmost points of Cheshire and explored Mow Cop Folly, an old summerhouse built in the guise of a medieval castle by Randle Wilbraham in 1754. The outcrop of sandstone grit it is built upon rises 355m above sea level meaning that you get some amazing panoramic views across the two fairly flat counties of Cheshire and Staffordshire!
Due to some less than ideal weather conditions we also ended up visiting Knypersley Reservoir, which is part of a Staffordshire County Park. The reservoir is fun to wander around but you might want to pick a slightly nicer day to do it than we did! There is also a small waterfall walk that we completely missed which would be a nice extra addition to the trip!

Back in the 60s and 70s I would walk there from kidsgrove. great times. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Anthony 😊🙏
The "it's absolutely freezing, I can't feel my fingers." With no scarf and your coat partially unzipped is a flex 😂
Think it still would have been freezing even if we had scarves on! It was a super cold, windy day ❄️
Greetings Kitti and Jon from Germany. I spent my childhood in and around Mow Cop so this video brought back many happy memories. Spent hours playing cowboys and indians, scoffed tons of blackberries at the castle but that was decades ago. Near to the Old man o` Mow is a hermit`s cave, worth a look, so too the grave of "child of wonder" Hannah Dale at nearby St. Thomas`s. As well as the Warden`s Tower at Knypersley Resevoir there`s also Gawton`s dolmen stone and well, apparantly with healing properties. Thanks for the tour. Hope the coffee went down well.
Thanks Rodders 😊 glad you enjoyed the video thanks so much for watching! Lots of great suggestions for a return visit to the area 😀 p.s. coffee went down very well! 😅
Another great video Kitti & Jon. Don`t worry about the folk nit-picking on pronunciation, you should see should see some of the arguments I had over Slaithwaite and I`m a writer.
Thanks David! 👍 appreciate it 🙏
My family use to own that.
Cool 👍
I really did think this was a very old castle, and was surprised to find out it was a folly! Thanks for introducing me to somewhere I have never seen or heard of, and for all the tips and facts! And well done for staying cheerful, despite the rain!
You would definitely think it was a castle to look at it wouldn't you! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
I really love your information on the sights, they're so interesting! Thanks a lot :) Kitti, your yellow coat makes it very cheerful to watch though :)
Thanks for your lovely comment! Kitti's yellow jacket has become an iconic feature of our videos!! :D
Nice video , cheers 👍🙂
Thank you so much! :)
completely ruined it with putting the metal gate and bars on the windows
Agreed! Bit of an eyesore.
would be better if you pronounced it properly it should sound like maw cop even though it's spelt mow cop
Thanks for the correction 👍
Its not mow as in row, its mow as in cow and cop as in👮♀️ .
We know now but it's a little late to change it unfortunately 🙈 thanks for watching 😊
Moo Cop?
your pronouncing it Wrong locals say Mow cop like it was Maw Cop
Thanks for the info! We do our best with pronunciations but obviously make mistakes sometimes! A lot of the places we go to seem to have names that sound nothing like they are spelled 😅
