Tameside - Heart of the British Isles
Tameside is at the heart of the country's second largest regional centre and is an attractive place to live, mid-way between the Pennines and the city of Manchester.
It combines a mix of urban and rural landscapes and the area includes historic market towns, a canal network and industrial heritage areas.
For such a small area, Tameside has surprisingly varied scenery. Large parts are open moorland with brooks cutting deep valley channels down to the main rivers - Tame, Medlock and Etherow - which flow from the Pennines into the River Mersey.
Pennine scenery is apparent in areas like Mossley, Stalybridge, and the Longdendale villages of Mottram, Hollingworth and Broadbottom.
Whilst Hyde, Ashton, Dukinfield, Denton and Audenshaw are lower lying, the Pennine hills still dominate views to the east.
