The Roaches where Buzzards fly and Wallabies still roam. The Roaches (or Roches) is a wind-carved outcrop of gritstone rocks straddling the parishes of Leekfrith and Heathylee in the Peak District National Park about 4 miles north of Leek, Staffordshire and 8 miles south of Buxton, Derbyshire.
The name Roaches has evolved recently from 'Roches' as the area used to be known only 100 years (or less) ago. 'Roches' is the french word for rocks.
To get to the Roaches take the A53 road from Leek, Staffordshire towards Buxton. After about 4 miles and about half a mile past the Three Horseshoes pub take a left turn signposted Upper Hulme. After a hundred metres take the left fork. Follow this road for about one and a half miles. Park in the lay-byes - you cannot miss the Roaches! Using Satnav use postcode ST13 8UB. To avoid a ticket make sure you park as signed!
The only two centres of a sparse population are the Villages of Meerbrook and Upper Hulme. Facilities include a tea room, a village hall, furniture maker, vehicle repair and a visitor centre.
The Roaches are particularly popular with climbers because of the diversity of the climbing routes there. Also there are many miles of paths to satisfy the most seasoned rambler.
The Roaches area includes Hen Cloud, so named because with a little imagination it looks like a roosting hen. The name could also have been derived from the Anglo -Saxon 'Henge Clud' meaning steep cliff. Also Ramshaw Rocks which includes the weird rock formation called the Winking Man.
For many years, from the 1930's to the early 2000s, a fairly large group of Wallabies roamed the Roaches. It is believed that there is only one left now. They had been released from a private zoo. 3 Yaks were also released at the same time but they died out in the 1950's.

On the edge above Swythamley, in the Peak District National Park, there is a famous landmark known as the Hanging Stone. The Hanging Stone, a short distance from Lud's Church near Wincle, has spectacular moorland views across to the Roaches and Shutlingsloe as well as lush woodland and drystone-walled pastures.
The Hanging Stone bears two plaques. One to Colonel Brocklehurst, who was killed in Burma in 1942 and the other marking the grave of Burke, a bull mastiff and close companion to the Brocklehurst Family of Swythamley Hall. Burke died in 1874 and his epitaph reads:
“A noble mastiff, black and tan,
Faithfull as woman, braver than man.
A gun and a ramble his heart’s desire
With the friend of his life the Swythamley Squire.”
