Gee Cross is built on the side of a hill called Werneth Low, a part of the Pennines, which surrounds the village to the south and east. Werneth Low is a protected country park that was first created as a war memorial by the people of Hyde. The park has a visitors centre and ranger service. On a clear day, there are views across the county, as well as Lancashire and Merseyside. On a very clear day, the Welsh mountains can even be seen. Sightseers can view Manchester city centre, including the tallest tower in the UK outside of London - Deansgate Square South Tower. The Hare and Hounds pub sits on the top of Werneth Low, as does Hyde Cricket and Squash Club and Werneth Low Golf Club.
