EspañolTHE ROACHES
:''For the female vocal group, see The Roches''.
'The Roaches' (from the French ''les roches'' - the rocks) are a geographical feature situated above Leek and Tittesworth reservoir in the Peak District of the United Kingdom. This rare rock formation rises steeply to 1,657ft.
Along with Ramshaw Rocks and Hen Cloud they form a gritstone escarpment, which is very popular with walkers, rock climbers and freerunners. It is often very busy especially at weekends. The local mountain rescue is a regular attendee to this popular crag.
The BMC maintain a climbing hut in memory of Don Whillans in the area.
In clear conditions, it is possible to see much of Cheshire and views stretching as far as Snowdon in Wales and Winter Hill in Lancashire.
