Hyde lies on the Peak Forest Canal, built between 1794 and 1800, and sits below Werneth Low, a Pennine hill that the Romans crossed with a road.
A canal built for limestone
The Peak Forest Canal runs about 14.5 miles from Portland Basin to Buxworth, passing through Dukinfield, Hyde, Woodley and Marple. Hyde Bank tunnel lies on the route in the Tameside area.
A hill with a long history
Werneth Low rises to 279 metres on the border of Stockport and Tameside. The Romans built a road across it, and it was opened as Werneth Low Country Park on 9 June 1980. Hyde historically lay in Cheshire and became part of Greater Manchester in 1974.
