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.

Active Tameside director feared he wouldn’t recover from COVID-19

Director of Health & Social outcomes at Active Tameside, Shaun Higgins, has told how he was hospitalised with Coronavirus to help highlight the severity of the virus, even in those particularly fit and active, and to urge people to take steps to stop the spread. The 51-year-old, from Newton, Hyde was unfortunate enough to contract COVID-19 and fall seriously ill in March. Shaun has Type 1 diabetes and told of how he suffered with extreme nausea and vomiting over 24 hours, before being admitted to hospital where it was confirmed that he had COVID-19. The virus had unbalanced his diabetes and made him very ill. He then proceeded to develop more commonly recognised COVID-19 symptoms such as a lack of taste and smell, which he continues to experience even now almost six months later. Shaun remained in Tameside Hospital for eight days before returning home where he was told he would be safer. Shaun said: “It was quite scary as stories of COVID-19 were all over the media and sometimes I ...
