From the Wikipedia article
Eccles Pike is an isolated hill three miles west of Chapel en le Frith in the Derbyshire Peak District, England. It consists of gritstone, pink in colour at the summit. While not as prominent as the surrounding hills of Cracken Edge and Combs Moss, it is popular with walkers. At 370 metres (1,210 ft) above sea level, it offers good views of Manchester to the west and the Kinder Scout plateau to the east. Combs Reservoir lies just south of the hill. The name 'pike' means pointed hill; it's not known how it acquired the name Eccles, or whether this name relates to the town on the other side of Manchester famous for its currant cakes.
