What's in a name?

A couple of friends on Facebook said to me recently "Err, Cheshire Peaks? There aren't any peaks in Cheshire!".
My response was that Cheshire is not totally flat (they must have been thinking of Norfolk). There are a few notable peaks in Cheshire, although none of them are very high. But yes, we did decide to use the name Cheshire Peaks for a laugh. "Ah, right.," replied my friend Pete, "Irony."
There are some wonderful peaks in Cheshire, both out on the plain and in the foothills of the Peak District:
  • Shutlingsloe
  • Bosley Cloud
  • Alderley Edge
  • Beeston Castle
  • White Nancy
  • Shining Tor (highest point in Cheshire, 1834 ft)
  • Beacon Hill (aka Frodsham Hill)
  • Tegg's Nose
  • Peckforton Hills
  • Axe Edge
  • Bosley Minn
  • Sutton Common
