Saddleworth Moor
Saddleworth Moor is an area of the South Pennines in Northern England. It is within the Dark Peak area of the Peak District National Park. The land reaches over above sea level. It is crossed by the A635 road and the Pennine Way passes to its eastern side.
==History==
The moor takes its name from the parish of Saddleworth to the west, historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire although on the western side of the Pennines, but a part of Greater Manchester since 1974. The parts of the moor east of the present county boundary with West Yorkshire are known as Wessenden Moor and Wessenden Head Moor.
The moor became infamous in the 1960s as the burial site of four victims of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, the Moors murderers. In October 1965 the bodies of Lesley Ann Downey and John Kilbride were discovered, having been buried there during the previous two years. John Kilbride was murdered on the moors by Ian Brady in the absence of Myra Hindley, while Lesley Ann Downey was murdered at the couple's house in nearby Hattersley before being buried on the moors.
The body of Pauline Reade, who was the couple's first victim in July 1963, was recovered on 1 July 1987, almost a year after Brady and Hindley admitted murdering her. They had also admitted to murdering Keith Bennett in June 1964, but his body has never been found.
