Welcome to Alt Hill

Alt Hill is a small village located in Greater Manchester, England. It is situated in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Alt Hill is a close-knit community, and the residents are friendly and welcoming to newcomers.

One of the main attractions of Alt Hill is its proximity to the Pennine Way, a long-distance footpath that runs through the village. The Pennine Way is a popular destination for hikers and walkers, and it offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Alt Hill is also home to several parks and green spaces, including Alt Hill Park and Alt Hill Nature Reserve. These areas are perfect for picnics, walks, and other outdoor activities.

Alt Hill has a rich history, and there are several historic buildings and landmarks in the village. One of the most notable is the Alt Hill Mill, which was built in the 19th century and is now a Grade II listed building. The mill played an important role in the industrial revolution and was once a major employer in the area. Today, it has been converted into luxury apartments, but its historic significance has been preserved.
