The Winking Man Rock formation is part of the Ramshaw Rocks section of The Roaches. 'Winky' as it is also known can be seen from the Leek-Buxton road (A53) about 5 miles outside Leek. 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.
