Experience Cheshire's wild hill country at Tegg's Nose Country Park above Macclesfield and enjoy tremendous views across the Cheshire Plain. Take a close look at the gritstone in the old quarry, or follow the waymarked Tegg's Trail around the park. Look out for mountain pansies in the meadows, or stop and watch for birds in the shelter of the woodland.

A major project to rebuild over 500 metres of drystone wall at Tegg's Nose Country Park began in October 2002 following a successful bid to the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund.
In addition to rebuilding existing walls within the park there are plans to build a new wall at the entrance of the park. Already an attractive shelter feature consisting of two overlapping stone walls has been built at the top of the picnic area and over the next few months schools and local community groups will be invited to work with artists to create special seats and other features using local stone.

Exploring further afield
 Tegg's Nose Country Park is the ideal place to break the northern and central sections of the Gritstone Trail, a 56km/35mile walk from Disley to Kidsgrove through some of the most rugged and spectacular scenery in Cheshire. It can be walked over two or three days, or as a series of shorter, circular walks.
 Cycle Cheshire - Grit and Gears and Cycle Cheshire - Riding the Ridges are two tough bike rides, designed to stretch the legs and test the nerves of more experienced riders.
