The Roaches, Staffordshire

The Roaches is a prominent gritstone escarpment in the Staffordshire Peak District. The ridge rises to 1,657ft. Beloved by walkers, climbers and naturalists, it is famous for its stunning rock formations and its spectacular views over Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire - and as far as Snowdonia and Winter Hill in Lancashire. Its magnificent soaring rock faces and wild, heather-covered hillsides make it one of Staffordshire’s most photographed landscapes. It is in the council area of Staffordshire Moorlands (Staffordshire).
