Knott Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Maxxing out at 28% but with an average of 'just' 7.7%, this hill ramps up right from the exit of Delph village but eases a little in the middle. The views are all worth it. It didn't make the top 100 climbs, but I believe it has crept in to the top 200. Nice and quiet.

Standedge Cutting

Highlight • Structure

The cutting here in the road was dug in 1839 to take the Wakefield to Austerlands Toll Road across the South Pennines. The area is part of the National Trust's Marsden Moor Estate. There has been a road across Standegde since Roman times when it was part of a route connecting York and Chester.

Pule Hill can be seen in the distance if you are approaching from the direction of Marsden.
