Three Shires Head Bridge - crossing The River Dane This is where the ancient ceremonial counties of Cheshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire meet. Three Shires Head is also known as Three Shires Heads - both versions are acceptable. The pool to the right is I think known as Panniers Pool - often braved by hardy swimmers.
