Caldy Hill (original) (raw)
Caldy Hill is an area of heath and woodland on a sandstone outcrop on the Wirral Peninsula. The land was bought by Hoylake District Council between 1897 and 1974. The village of Caldy is nearby. Including Stapledon Woods, the whole area covers 250 acres (1.0 km2) of which 13 acres (53,000 m2) are owned by the National Trust. The hill rises to 260 ft where there is a view-finder. From here there are fine views over the estuary of the River Dee to Hilbre Island and the Irish Sea. More distant views range to Snowdonia in the west and Blackpool and the Pennines in the east, more rarely as far as the Lake District to the north, and extremely rarely to the Isle of Man in the north-west.

The Mariners' Beacon stands nearby on the site of an old windmill, which was missed by mariners after it was destroyed by a gale in 1839. Consequently, the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks erected the Mariners' Beacon in 1841. Calday Grange Grammar School is situated on Caldy Hill. (en) Caldy Hill (la colline de Caldy) est un petit relief boisé et couvert de bruyère, près du village éponyme de (en), sur un affleurement de grès de la péninsule de Wirral. Le terrain a été acheté par le conseil de district de Hoylake entre 1897 et 1974. L'ensemble de la zone, qui comprend les Stapledon Woods, couvre 250 acres (1.0 km2) dont 13 (5.3 ha) appartiennent au National Trust. En haut de la colline, d'une altitude d'environ 80 mètres, se trouve une lunette d'observation. De là, la vue s'étend sur l'estuaire de la Dee jusqu'à l'île de Hilbre et à la mer d'Irlande. Plus loin, on peut apercevoir Snowdonia à l'ouest et Blackpool et les Pennines à l'est. Plus rarement la vue peut porter jusqu'au Lake District au nord, et exceptionnellement jusqu'à l'île de Man au nord-ouest. Le phare du Mariners' Beacon se trouve à proximité, sur le site d'un ancien moulin à vent. Ayant fait défaut aux marins après sa destruction par un coup de vent en 1839, les administrateurs des docks de Liverpool l'ont reconstruit en 1841. Le collège de Calday Grange Grammar Scool se situe également sur Caldy Hill. (fr) |
