About Primrose Hill

Primrose Hill is located on a hill and contrary to its name is not home to primroses. However the views are excellent and the larch and pine trees are especially enjoyable in the Autumn. The forest is great for walking including the Sandstone Trail which is waymarked. In addition to walking Urchins Kitchen is well worth visiting. The Urchins Kitchen is a sandstone gorge.

How to get there:

Delamere Northwich Chester is the nearest town or village.

By Road

From the A556 into Kelsall turn south down minor road beside the pub called "The Farmers Arms". Follow the road round to the entrance to the forest where you may park.
