About

Saddleworth South ward encompasses the southern portion of the larger Saddleworth area within the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham. Its landscape is defined by the western slopes of the Pennine hills, featuring moorland and the valleys of the River Tame and its tributaries. The ward includes the villages of Greenfield, Uppermill, and Dobcross, which serve as local centres with shops and services. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs through the valley, a historic transport route.

The area's character is shaped by its industrial past, with former mill buildings now often repurposed for other uses. The Saddleworth Museum in Uppermill details this local history. Walking routes are prevalent, providing access to open moorland like that around Dovestone Reservoir, a key feature for recreation and water supply. Community events, including the annual Saddleworth Show and the Whit Friday brass band contests, are significant local traditions.
