From the Allan Monkhouse Memorial on Higher Moor, you are treated to marvellous views of the Cheshire Plain, Lyme and beyond. In fact, seven counties can be seen on a good day. Allan was a playwright and novelist who lived in Disley, Cheshire.

Great views down to Lyme Park and across the Cheshire Plain.

Stumbles across this memorial, seemingly in the middle of nowhere within the Lyme Park Estate.
