Mow Cop

Moc Cop Castle from Harriseahead. The folly at Mow Cop is a landmark both from the Cheshire Plain and from Staffordshire. It lies just in Cheshire whilst the old quarry in front is in Staffordshire. This is a fascinating area, once filled with collieries, brickworks, quarries, mills and tramroads, but now mainly a quiet residential area, albeit rather windswept at times. To me this is the place where the north-west and the midlands meet.
