Hiking
Mellor Moor is close to Mellor Cross, offering a chance to see another historical marker. Combining these two sites in one walk makes for a more fulfilling outing.
Also, in the area is the remains of Mellor Mill, which has ongoing archaeological digs. So you can combine a walk with a bit of history.
Mellor Moor offers excellent views of the surrounding countryside, including Kinder Scout.
