Eccles Pike is an isolated hill that rises between the towns of Whaley Bridge and Chapel-en-le-Frith in Derbyshire’s High Peak region. The hill looks into the Peak District on three sides yet is part of the narrow tract of land from New Mills to Sterndale Moor that’s excluded from the national park. Regardless, its 1,210-foot (370 m) top is a popular objective.

Hiking

Eccles Pike is a wonderful panoramic viewpoint. You can see Manchester on a clear day along with Mam Tor, Rushop Edge, Kinder Scout, Whaley Bridge, Lyme Park and much much more.

Hiking

Eccles Pike is an isolated hill three miles to the west of Chapel en le Frith. It consists of gritstone, pink in colour at the summit. While not as prominent as the surrounding hills of Cracken Edge and Combs Moss it is popular with walkers. At 370 metres above sea level, it offers good views of Manchester to the west and the Kinder Scout plateau to the east. Combs reservoir lies just to the south of the hill.

Hiking

Beautiful location with great Panoramic photo shots available. There is a nice bench seat to sit down on and some big rocks there to take off the edge of any winds. An easy enough hike from Whaley Bridge or Chinley.
