Located between Whaley Bridge and Fernilee, it is now administered as part of the larger community of Whaley Bridge. The area attracts many outdoors enthusiasts, especially hikers, because of the beauty and variety of the scenery. It rises steeply as it ascends the Goyt valley from the canal terminus at Whaley Bridge, past Fernilee Reservoir, and onto the highlands of Axe Edge Moor.
