Hiking

Legendary fellwalker Alfred Wainwright described Black Hill as a desolate and hopeless quagmire. Whilst it can be rather bleak here, especially if the weather’s bad, the remote landscape has a wonderfully-rugged charm. In clear conditions, you can see for miles around. Watch out for bogs, though, even during the hottest of summers.

Quite boggy but rewarding views

Hiking

Not that much of a boggy trip if you are on the Pennine Way otherwise it is. Black Hill is the old historic county top for Cheshire, a trig pointed summit and a UK designated Marilyn. A good one to do along with Black Chew Head, the county top for Greater Manchester and pick up another trig point at Hey Edge. See here for details: komoot.com/tour/383489718
