| Views from Tegg's Nose overlook nearby Macclesfield Forest and across to
the summit of Shutlingsloe which is the second highest point in Cheshire
as well as the Telecoms Tower on Sutton Common and the Macclesfield Canal.
On clear days you can also see as far as the Welsh Hills and Liverpool in
the east across the Cheshire plain.
From the Tegg's Nose summmit at a height of 380m or 1246ft there are views
over the two reservoirs in the Country Park which are Bottoms Reservoir
built in 1850 and the smaller Teggs Nose Reservoir constructed slightly
later in 1871. The two reservoirs were used to regulate the water supply
to factories in nearby Langley Village.
The landscape and wildlife of the area is varied with both meadow and
moorland conditions on the rocky slopes and woodland at the base of the
summit. An abundance of Gorse at the Country Park flowers all year, and
blueberries and wild apples can be found in some areas. Sheep and cattle
graze the land whilst a number of birds including Woodpeckers, Nuthatches,
Tits and Birds of Prey can be seen.
