The Winking Man Rock formation (also known as the Winking Eye[4]) is part of the Ramshaw Rocks section of The Roaches. It looks like a face sticking out of the hillside, and as you travel past in a car towards Buxton the 'eye' appears to wink, as a pinnacle of rock passes behind the face as a consequence of
parallax.[5][4] A public house near Ramshaw Rocks at Upper Hulme takes its name from the Winking Man rock.[6]
