## Resource

Hidden for decades beneath overgrown trees, Halton Castle in Runcorn is a forgotten Norman gem—older than Liverpool itself—and now a local hero. A new group, the Friends of Halton Castle, is reviving this historic site with lights, signs, and clearings so it’s visible from bridges. Locals and councillors admit drivers pass by daily without knowing it exists. Their mission? Spark community pride, engage schools, fly a borough flag, and turn this medieval marvel into a must-see attraction. It’s time Runcorn’s biggest secret gets its spotlight.
