Dane Valley

About

Dane Valley ward lies in the northeast of Cheshire East, a predominantly rural area defined by its rolling hills and farmland. The landscape is shaped by the River Dane itself, which flows through the western part of the ward. Settlements here are small and scattered, including the villages of Wincle and Wildboarclough, which serve as focal points within the expansive countryside. The area is characterised by quiet lanes and isolated farms rather than larger towns.

A significant portion of the ward falls within the Peak District National Park, bringing protected moorland and steep, wooded cloughs. The notable landmark of The Roaches, a rugged gritstone edge, rises prominently on its eastern boundary. This terrain makes it a destination for walkers and climbers, with its ecology and geology being a defining feature of the local environment.
