Stormy Point is a rocky outcrop providing a fantastic viewpoint overlooking the north-eastern slopes of Alderley Edge. The viewpoint makes a great place to sit and catch your breath whilst enjoying breathtaking views across to the Pennines.

Allegedly, Stormy Point used to be the site of the biggest (modern) witch coven in England. Also the main setting for Alan Garner's fantasy books Weirdstone of Brinsigamon and The Moon of Gomrath.
