Tandle Hill boasts the title of Oldham's oldest country park. This 110 acre parkland consists of beautiful beech woodland and open grassland and shows off some pretty fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

This specific location is the highest point in the park, and, on a clear day, affords views across Manchester and all the way over to the Welsh mountains.

The war memorial commemorating the men of Royton who died during the First World War stands at the highest point in the park, and was unveiled on 22 October 1921 by the Earl of Derby. Originally the memorial, which is constructed from Portland stone, bore plaques listing the fallen and a bronze statue. The original plaques were stolen in 1969, and replacements were later installed in the grounds of St Paul's, Royton.
