I lived in Cheshire for much of my life and frequented both The Cloud and the Peak District but never considered The Cloud (or 'Bosley Cloud' or 'Congleton Cloud' as it's often referred to) as being in the Peak District, as the title of this article suggests. Had it been wholly in one county or the other then I'm sure it would have been titled 'The Cloud (Cheshire)' or 'The Cloud (Staffordshire)' or similar. I would advocate it being re-named 'The Cloud, Congleton' myself. Anyone else care to comment? cheers Geopersona ( talk) 19:32, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
I suppose you could argue that it is the wrong side of the road though personally I just see the road as a road and a human-made object in the landscape and not really a barrier, it's essentially the same area. The landscape and people on either side of the road don't differ any.
But then at the same time you could as easily say that the "Peak District" is just a human-designated area which is really the southern end of the Pennines and if we went by such loose descriptions it could easily extend more towards Stoke-on-Trent. But the "Peak District" didn't really exist until it was made a national park, it is just an invented region which is in reality the southernmost Pennines.
So yes, I agree. It shouldn't really be called "Peak District" as it's not in the national park, just near it. Time changes opinions.
