The country park with breathtaking views of Cheshire and the Peaks with a "very lovely" tearoom

It attracts thousands of walker every year, and is loved by visitors for its "quirks" at the summit. Tegg's Nose looms over Macclesfield on the western edge of the Peak District and boasts panoramic views of Cheshire and beyond.

The 380m summit of Tegg's Nose is the imposing centrepiece of the country park just over two miles outside the Cheshire town, with one recent visitor describing it as a 'great place' with 'lots of quirks to it' on Tripadvisor. And it has the added benefit for walkers of a dog-friendly tearooms that boasts pleasant views across the Cheshire plain.

Among the "quirks" of this walk for a day out is the rather impressive site at the hilltop of an old quarrying site. Here is where millstone grit, a type of sandstone, was mined from the 1500s, right up until 1955, writes Cheshire Live.
