Tegg's Nose Country Park
Recommended by
Overview
The best introduction to the Cheshire part of the Peak landscape is from Tegg’s Nose Country Park, along Buxton Old Road to the east of Macclesfield. There are superb views from the Windy Way car park across the Cheshire Plain and walks along a network of tracks and pathways, by the old quarry or down through woodland to the reservoirs above Langley. It is possible at this point to join the Gritstone Trail, a waymarked footpath running the length of Cheshire from Lyme Park to Mow Cop.
About the area
Nestled between the Welsh hills and Derbyshire Peaks, the Cheshire plains make an ideal location to take things slow and mess around in boats. Cheshire has more than 200 miles (302 km) of man-made waterways, more than any other county in England.
