Hartshead Pike

Hartshead Pike is a hill to the north of Ashton-under-Lyne, in Greater Manchester, England. The hill stands at 267 metres.

Hartshead Pike has been a popular beauty spot since the Victorian era and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. There are several ways to get to the top of the hill, including a short walk from the nearby car park, or a longer hike up one of the many footpaths that lead to the summit.

At the top of Hartshead Pike is a small stone tower dating to 1863, on the site of an earlier monument that was itself rebuilt in 1751.
