Helsby Hill stands 120 metres above sea level looking out over the marshes and the Mersey. On a clear day the Liverpool skyline is visible with the outlines of the Anglican and Metropolitan Cathedrals standing out. Hjallr-by, “the village on the edge” was settled by the Vikings in the tenth century AD. There are various routes up the hill ranging from a steep drive almost all the way to the top and a climb straight up the cliff face that is not for the faint hearted!
