Mow Cop Castle, Grade II listed folly in Odd Rode, England.
The stone structure stands on a ridge marking the boundary between Cheshire and Staffordshire, featuring a round tower and medieval fortress design.
Randle Wilbraham commissioned local stone masons John and Ralph Harding to construct this decorative summerhouse in 1754 near his Rode Hall estate.
The hill gathered over ten thousand Methodists in 1937 to commemorate the first Primitive Methodist camp meeting held at this location in 1807.
The National Trust currently manages the site, with restricted access to the immediate surrounding area due to safety considerations.
A carved stone face adorns the doorway of this former two-story summerhouse, which originally included a cone-shaped roof functioning as a beacon.
