About this park
Discover Tegg's Nose Country Park, a stunning area of Cheshire's wild hill country where dramatic rock formations dominate the landscape. The park offers exhilarating views over the Cheshire Plain, and on a clear day, you can even spot Liverpool's cathedrals and the distant Welsh hills. This area was once a bustling quarry, active from the 1500s until 1955, and while nature has softened the industrial scars, the history is still palpable. The rugged terrain, dry stone walls, and sturdy barns create a distinctive character. Tegg's Nose provides an excellent base for numerous walks, with routes ranging from gentle strolls to more challenging hikes, perfect for you and your canine companion. The park's varied landscape offers plenty to explore throughout the year, from open moorland to wooded valleys. While dogs are generally welcome, please ensure they are kept under control, especially around wildlife and other visitors. Details on specific dog rules, like off-leash areas, can often be found on site or on the official website. Always remember to clean up after your dog to help keep the park beautiful for everyone. After a invigorating walk, you can refuel at The Nose Coffee shop, conveniently located within the park and open seven days a week, serving coffee and snacks. The park also boasts public toilets, including a disabled toilet with baby changing facilities (RADAR key required for disabled access). A pay-and-display car park is available on-site, with car parking permits also offered for frequent visitors. Picnic benches are provided in the main car park, though fires and BBQs are strictly prohibited for safety reasons.
