What is recorded here

Beeston Castle and Woodland Park stands in Cheshire West and Chester, preserving a castle within a living woodland rather than a bare stone ruin. People may have walked these paths for centuries, watching shadows move through the trees or listening for voices carried on the wind. The castle still belongs to the area, inviting visitors to imagine the lives hidden inside its ancient walls.
Beeston Castle and Woodland Park is shown as a castle on the public map of Cheshire West and Chester. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Beeston Castle was built in the early 13th century by the de Montalt family, later held by the powerful Cheshire gentry, and is notable for its strategic position on a sandstone outcrop. It is remembered for its role in the English Civil War, when it was besieged and partially destroyed in 1644.
