This huge wooden cross marks the site where John Wesley preached. It stands on the only part of Mellor Moor that is actually moorland, and is Access Land. The inscription says "Erected by the Marple and District Council of Churches. 27th March 1970." It looks out over southern Stockport and beyond.
