Bunkers Hill

The walk up Bunkers Hill from Crewe is bracing and brief - you're looking at maybe 20 minutes of steady climbing for views that spread across the Cheshire Plain. It's not dramatic terrain. The "peak" is modest by any standard, but that's rather the point: this is proper walking country, the kind where the satisfaction comes from effort and elevation gain rather than Alpine theatre.

You get a genuine sense of the landscape from up there. On clear days the vista sweeps across farmland and small towns, with enough distance to make the climb feel worthwhile. Families with older kids will manage it fine. Younger children might find the walk tedious without the payoff of something iconic at the summit - there's no monument, no café, just the countryside and the weather.

It's free to visit and takes maybe an hour round trip if you're not rushing. The walk works well as part of a broader ramble rather than a destination in itself. If you're based at Tipsy Tree Glamping or The Willows Touring Park, both within easy reach, you could slot this into a morning before heading elsewhere. The real value is the walking itself and a moment at the top to appreciate how much of Cheshire you can see from such a modest height. Worth the detour if you're in the area and fancy a proper leg-stretch, but don't plan your holiday around it.
