James the Greater (the Latin 'major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church in Gawsworth was dedicated, was, together with his brother, part of the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark enumerates a list of the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James—them he surnamed Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder" (Mark 3:17). They were said to have had strong tempers, but were faithful followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His tomb in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia (Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

nice lung buster mid way going up but hate going down this one

A cracking little climb that kicks up at the end 10% Nice road lined with trees well worth a look.

Love the reservoirs at Macclesfield Forest. Great to see the reflections in the water on a calm day.

steep but lovely climb

A nice relatively short climb that gets the legs and lungs going. Road surface has really deteriorated due to all the trees so care needs to be taken on the descent.

Mow Cop Castle sits on the summit of a rocky outcrop / ridge of sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level, on the Cheshire- Staffordshire border. The ridge itself is great fun to explore and affords magnificent views.

Mow Cop is the southernmost outcrop in Cheshire of hard sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level. At its highest point stands a mock tower that was built as a summer house in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. This tower is visible for miles around and is a major landmark visited throughout the year. Interestingly, it was the location for the first Primitive Methodist service in 1807.
