A ~2 hour off-road run from a local venue this week due to the rainy forecast. A linear route from Hathersage to Edale was on the cards this week but will leave this for another time when the weather is more likely to be dry.
The view from Teggs Nose
Tegg's Nose car park is metered but allegedly you don't have to pay in winter! Yes you do - see below
Tea in the cafe there afterwards.
Tegg’s Nose Country Park is located close to Macclesfield in Cheshire on the western edge of the Peak District National Park.
There is evidence of activity in the area since the Bronze age, including a Burial Chamber and lots of examples of how the Country Park has been shaped by its past use for quarrying, from the 16th century to as recently as 1955.
Views from Tegg’s Nose overlook nearby Macclesfield Forest and across to the summit of Shutlingsloe, which is the second highest point in Cheshire, From the Tegg’s Nose summmit at a height of 380m or 1246ft there are views over the two reservoirs in the Country Park which are Bottoms Reservoir built in 1850, and the smaller Teggs Nose Reservoir constructed slightly later in 1871. The two reservoirs were used to regulate the water supply to factories in nearby Langley Village.
