Wildboarclough (/ˈwɪlbəklʌf/ WIL-bə-kluf)[1][2] is a village in the civil parish of Macclesfield Forest and Wildboarclough, in the Cheshire East district, in the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England, within the Peak District National Park.

Bilsborough states that the name arises from the rapid rise in levels of the Clough Brook after a heavy fall of rain, but Mills[3] gives it as a deep valley (or clough) frequented by wild boar.

[8] From the nearby summit of Shutlingsloe (506 metres (1,660 ft)), which lies just to the north-west of the village, a wide panorama of the Cheshire Plain and the Peak District can be obtained.

In clear conditions the view extends as far as the Mersey Estuary and the Welsh Clwydian Hills 40 miles (64 km) to the west, and the cooling towers of the power stations on the banks of the River Trent 50 miles (80 km) to the east.

The Peak District Boundary Walk runs through the village.
