Shutlingsloe

Shutlingsloe is a hill near the village of Wildboarclough, in the east of the county of Cheshire.

The Peak District Boundary Walk crosses the summit, which is the highest point on the footpath's 200-mile long route.

[3] The hill is formed from alternating layers of mudstones and coarse sandstones (referred to as 'gritstones' or simply 'grits') which were laid down in a delta system in the Carboniferous period.

Several geological faults run northwest to southeast through the hill.

[4] In The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, a work for children by Alan Garner, 'Shuttlingslow' features in the climax of the chase at the end of the story.
