The Roaches (from the French les roaches - the rocks) is the name given to the prominent rocky ridge situated above Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir in the Peak District of England. The ridge with its spectacular rock formations rises steeply to 505m (1657 ft). 

Along with Ramshaw Rocks and Hen Cloud they form a gritstone escarpment, which is very popular with hikers, rock climbers and free runners. It is often very busy especially at the weekends.. The local mountain rescue team is a regular attendee to this popular crag.
