Roaches

united kingdom

Roaches perches on the Pennine edge between Oldham and Mossley, where industrial Greater Manchester meets the moors. Access is straightforward via the A670 from Oldham or local roads from the A635 Greenfield route, with the M60 providing longer-distance connections. The area's name comes from the distinctive gritstone rock formations that attract local climbers to these weathered Pennine outcrops.
