The hilltop trail in Greater Manchester with stunning views on a clear winter’s day
Going for a walk on a cold, crisp day is one of the simple pleasures of winter. On bright and clear days the countryside can look particularly beautiful at this time of year.
Werneth Low is a hill which sits on the borders of Tameside and Stockport. It stands at a height of 279 metres and actually forms part of the Pennines.Its name is deceiving as “low” actually comes from a northern English word for hill and has nothing to do with its height. In fact from its lofty summit you can see across Greater Manchester and on a clear day even as far as the Welsh Hills and the Cheshire Plain.
Originally the land for the park was bought in 1920 by the War Memorial Committee of the Hyde Borough Council to protect the land as a tribute to the 710 men from the area who died during the First World War. A war memorial was officially unveiled in June 1921 and in 1980 the Werneth Low Country Park was officially opened to the public.
