Overview

Just to the North of Leek the Roaches is a ridge of gritstone within the Peak District National Park. With Hen Cloud at the southern end, and Bearstone Rock further to the North, with a Trig Point of 505mts inbetween. Walks today could take you along the ridge, or lower down around Tittesworth Reservoir.

With coach parking available near Upper Hulme, and at the Visitor Centre at Tittesworth Reservoir, our A Walk Leader has a choice to make. However we have never yet parked near the Visitor Centre, we will see what the Walk Leaders agree on.
