Also called Bosley Cloud, this abrupt hill on the Cheshire and Staffordshire border has a heathery summit plateau owned by the National Trust, where the highest rock sits just above a trig point on a plinth. It's famous for a double sunset: around midsummer, seen from Leek, the sun sets behind the hill, reappears on its northern slope and sets again, as Robert Plot recorded in 1686. The view takes in Congleton, Macclesfield and the Cheshire Plain towards Manchester.
