Dean Hill is a prominent summit located in the county of Cheshire, England. Standing at an elevation of approximately 139 meters (456 feet), it is often referred to as a hill rather than a mountain due to its relatively modest height. Situated in the picturesque countryside near the village of Dean Row, the hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Covered in lush greenery, Dean Hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. It boasts a well-maintained network of walking trails, making it an ideal spot for leisurely hikes and refreshing strolls. The paths meander through ancient woodlands and open fields, providing opportunities to spot a variety of flora and fauna.

Dean Hill is also of historical significance, as it is believed to have been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeological findings suggest that the hill was once home to a hillfort, a fortified settlement used for defensive purposes. These historical remnants add depth and intrigue to the area, attracting history enthusiasts and archaeologists alike.

The hill is easily accessible, with car parks and public transport links nearby. Its proximity to major towns and cities such as Wilmslow and Manchester make it a convenient escape for locals and tourists seeking a peaceful retreat. Dean Hill's tranquil ambiance, coupled with its natural beauty and rich history, make it a truly enchanting destination for all who visit.

Randle Rode This splendid 17th century Tudor-style house on the A533 bears the legend Randle Rode 1684.
Rode Hall Estate lies a couple of miles to the south-east of here, but the family have been landowners in the area for centuries. If you look closely, the large vertical stone in the garden wall has a face carved into it, as have other smaller ones which picture compression has rendered invisible.

Day Green From the foot of the slope down from the bridge over the M6, hence the slow sign on the entrance to this hamlet. Holly Tree Farm is on the right hand side of the lane. The 78 bus will take you to Nantwich via Sandbach or Scholar Green via Alsager.

Smallwood Vintage Rally View across part of the rally field looking towards Love Lane Farm. Of course it only looks like this a couple of days a year. Normally it's just a boring old field.
