Black Chew Head, Mountain summit in Saddleworth, England.
Black Chew Head rises to an elevation of 542 meters above sea level, marking the highest point in Greater Manchester near the Peak District border.
The summit transitioned from West Riding of Yorkshire to become part of Greater Manchester following the Local Government Act implementation in 1974.
The mountain serves as a destination for hill baggers who meticulously document their ascents while exploring the varied terrains of Northern England.
Visitors can reach the summit through multiple routes, with the main path starting from Dovestones Reservoir in Greenfield using the Chew Reservoir access road.
The Pennine Way trail passes just east of the summit, connecting the walking routes between Crowden and Black Hill through moorland landscapes.
