Winter hill is a must for anyone who lives in the North-West! You can see the mast from over 60 miles away at night, Southport, Blackpool, Liverpool, Manchester even as far south as Chester!

The view on clear day is unreal!

The section on the murder of a scottish traveller is incorrect. He was killed in 1838 and not 1938.

I would love to see what the view would be like from the top of the mast.

I saw the jodrell bank dish from up on Winter Hill one time a couple of summers back when I was up there with some friends, we had a video camera with us & as I was panning round with it, I spotted the dish through it, it was definitely the dish at jodrell bank as there's nothing else like it around that it could've been. Was much harder to spot with the naked eye though, but it was a hazy day as I recall so obviously the clearer the weather the better the view. It is stunning up there deffo :)
