The top of Cheetham Close is not only a superb viewpoint but also of great historical significance. Hikers are rewarded with a vista including the Peel Monument, Winter Hill and the Rossendale moors.

Once a druidical ritual place, the remains of a stone circle can still be seen today, despite the fact they were purposefully damaged by a farmer from Turton in the 1870s. The circle measured 61 feet (18.5 m) in diameter and is thought to have originated from the early Bronze Age.

Nice vantage point with views across to Peel Tower. Quieter section of the walk away from the popular reservoir circular.
