Shutlingsloe

Shutlingsloe is a hill near the village of Wildboarclough, in the east of the county of Cheshire. It stands to the south of Macclesfield Forest, on the edge of the Peak District and within the Peak District National Park. It is a steep-sided hill with a distinctive profile and commands excellent views over Cheshire . Sometimes described as the 'Matterhorn of Cheshire' it is the third highest peak in the historic county, Shining Tor being the highest at 559 m (1,660 ft). The Peak District Boundary Walk crosses the summit, which is the highest point on the footpath's 200-mile long route. The name derives from old English 'Scyttel's hlaw' meaning 'Scyttel's (personal name) hill' and is one of several 'low' names in the Peak District, from the same Old English root that gives rise to the name "Law" for many hills in southern Scotland.
