Flash, Staffordshire
Flash is a village within the Staffordshire Moorlands, England, and the Peak District National Park. It was an early centre for Wesleyanism.
==Location and geography==
Flash is the main village in Quarnford Parish. It lies just off the A53 main road about 3 miles southwest of Buxton. It is on the southern slope of the highest ground on Axe Edge Moor, which rises to a peak of 551m.〔Ordnance Survey Map, 1:50,000 Landranger, Sheet 119〕 The parish forms the Staffordshire corner of Three Shire Head, a packhorse bridge on a tributary of the River Dane, where Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire meet.
This general area has much geographical interest. To the south is Morridge, with a trig point at 489m〔 at Merryton Low which provides outstanding sunset views across the Cheshire plain and The Roaches. Also in this area is Ramshaw Rocks, a part of the range which includes Hen Cloud and The Roaches. The famous "Winking Man" is a combination of upright stones on Ramshaw Rocks, which is seen to wink as one travels the A53. The River Dane rises within the parish. East of Flash, and just over the A53, are the heads of the River Dove and River Manifold. Further south is the head of the River Churnet and to the north is the head of the River Goyt.〔 Other interesting features include caves on the west side of Axe Edge, one of which is known as "The Devil's Hole" from some strange sounds heard there when the wind blows in the right direction.
