It is called Mow Cop Castle, but it was built as a summerhouse in 1754. We’ve seen it as a part of our road trip to the White Peak. This time of the year it looks stunning with the purple flowers and the views are beautiful.
The castle is part of National Trust, but there aren’t any visitor centres there. The car park is pretty small too and it’s limited to 2 hours.
I haven’t been to Mow Cop, I really should! I’d like to have a nosy at the church nearby too. Looks beautiful surrounded by the Staffordshire heathland.
How stunning 🙂

This is such a picturesque place, especially with all the heather in view.
Thank you x Is heather! I had no idea how it’s called, good to know.
This looks really pretty, what a cool place to visit x
Beautiful.
I can just about see Mow Cop from my house on a clear day but I’ve never been! It looks lovely…I really must go!
