What is recorded here
Malpas Castle Hill rises in Cheshire West and Chester as a castle mark on the public map, though no building remains visible to judge. The hill itself may have worn the shape of a fortress, with men climbing its slopes under changing skies. Its absence does not diminish it; it invites imagination to complete what time erased.
Malpas Castle Hill 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.
Malpas Castle Hill is associated with the de Malpas family in the 12th and 13th centuries and was later held by the powerful Earls of Chester. It is remembered as a strategic defensive site in the borderlands between England and Wales.
