BUSYBUS. Beeston Castle, Cheshire. (640 words)
Beeston Castle is found about 10 miles south east of Chester, not far from the comparatively modern Peckforton Castle that will also be seen on route.
Beeston is built on a massive red stone rock (called Beeston Rock) with sheer drops on two sides.
Thanks to Cheshire's geography, Beeston Castle can be seen from just about anywhere in the county, standing proudly as it does on a hill in the centre of the Cheshire Plain.
