Hartshead Pike stands at 876 feet (267 m) to the east of Manchester. It's a great viewpoint across the city and down the Medlock valley.

The hill top has been used as a beacon since at least Roman times, when its prominent position was a useful strategic site. The tower was built in 1751 and then rebuilt in 1863. You used to be able to climb it, but the entrance was bricked up in WW2.
