The Cloud is a prominent hill on the Cheshire/Staffordshire border. One of the highest points for miles around, the summit affords wonderful views over Congleton, Macclesfield, Holmes Chapel, and Greater Manchester. According to legend, a giant king once stood with one foot on Shutlingsloe and one on the Cloud. When the giant stepped-off the Cloud, his shoe got stuck and it became the rocky summit.

From here you can see out over the Cheshire plain, including Jodrell bank.
There is also a metal plaque showing directions and distances to a number of both local and national landmarks.
