The Pennine Hills that frame the northern and eastern borders form a wall to the west, facing Manchester and slope gently away to the east. The highest hill in the area is Kinder Scout. The hills are largely composed of millstone grit. The healthy absence of dissolved lime in these rocks ensures that local water stored in reservoirs is ‘soft’.
