Beeston Castle

Sep 29 2008 By Chester Chronicle

Excavations indicate that a Bronze Age settlement and Iron Age hill fort occupied the site long before Beeston Castle was begun in 1225. According to legend, Beeston still guards King Richard II’s lost treasure – maybe your family can find it! Meanwhile, an exhibition details the other secrets in the 4,000 years of Beeston Castle’s history. There are also acres of unspoilt woodland trails to explore, and plenty of wildlife to see.
