    Part of the west Pennine Hills Winter Hill stands at 456m. There is a trig point and several radio and communications masts on the summit. There is also a memorial to a plane that crashed here in 1958 on a flight from the Isle of Man to Manchester.

      Walking boots and a wind proof jackets are a wise choice as it is quite open to windy wet weather. The hill has so many stories /history from mystery murder too plan crashes, also home to local tv mast is on this hill.
