This country park consists of eighty one hectares (two hundred acres) of grassland and wildflower meadows. The area offers pleasant walking opportunities and amazing views, which, on a clear day, can include the mountains of North Wales. In another direction, the Peak District looms, dark and threatening, while Hartshead Pike is also a prominant landmark, towering over Ashton and the surrounding area. There is a Visitor Centre in the vicinity, and refreshment can be sought from the local pub, the Hare and Hounds, which is the oldest pub in the district, dating from 1794.
