During the 16th century the Armada Beacon was part of a chain of beacons used as an alarm system to warn against an invasion of the country.

The Armada Beacon was once an important form of communication, long before the internet and alarm systems were invented. Built on top of a Bronze Age burial mound, the beacon is one of the highest points along Alderley Edge, meaning it could be seen across the region and has great views.
