context_page_description: Gee Cross is a village and suburb of Hyde within Tameside Metropolitan Borough, in Greater Manchester, England.
context_section_description: 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.
  To the south-west the village borders Woodley in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. Within Tameside, Hyde town centre merges with Gee Cross along its northern border and the village of Godley, also a part of Hyde, is found to the North-east. Across Werneth Low, the village of Hattersley is to the east and Romiley to the south.
