Eccles Pike

Eccles Pike is an isolated hill three miles west of Chapel en le Frith in the Derbyshire Peak District, England.

While not as prominent as the surrounding hills of Cracken Edge and Combs Moss, it is popular with walkers.

At 370 metres (1,210 ft) above sea level,[1] it offers good views of Manchester to the west and the Kinder Scout plateau to the east.

The name 'pike' means pointed hill; it's not known how it acquired the name Eccles, or whether this name relates to the town on the other side of Manchester famous for its currant cakes.

[2] At the top of the hill is a commemorative plaque known as a topograph, showing a 360° relief of the surrounding landscape.
