View allThe Hopestone
Foxt · 1.2 miles
Natural gritstone outcrop thought to be the source of the name of Ipstones (upper stone, yppe stone or hope stone). Strange circular depressions of an unknown origin are present in the top surface.
Egg Well
Morridge Side · 1.9 miles
Holy well or sacred spring, believed to have been used by the Romans. Stone surround built circa 1744, and a 19th century building encloses it.
Butter Cross
Basford Green · 2.5 miles
Early medieval stone cross, traditionally used as a place for buying and selling, standing at the intersection of two footpaths in Cheddleton.
Beech Vista
Wall Grange · 4.3 miles
These trees were probably planted shortly after the reservoir was built around 1849. From here there are good views across the park and the surrounding countryside.
Deep Hayes Country Park
Wall Grange · 4.3 miles
Large, attractive country park with a mixture of woodland, pasture and pools. Many paths of varying difficulty. Ample free parking and toilets on site.
The Roaches
Goldsitch Moss · 7.5 miles
I believe The Roaches is technically the name of one of the crags, rather than the actual summit.
