Woodhouse
This fort is part owned by the Woodland Trust and part by a private owner and is located close to Frodsham. The Sandstone Trail runs along the summit which is surrounded with woodland. The fort itself has been colonised by trees and there are significant new woodlands planted nearby. To the north east there are large agricultural fields leading to a golf course. To the south west is Foxhill Arboretum which is linked to the hillfort by further woodland. There are good views from the summit towards Helsby Hill and to Wales and Manchester. The Beacon Hill Hotel with its large car park is located nearby to the north.
The hillfort consists of a bank enclosing an outcrop of the Ridge that slopes upwards from the south-east, before terminating at steep cliff-edges to the north and west.
