'''Wildboarclough''' (pronounced Will'berclough)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cheshirenow.co.uk/wildboarclough.html|title=Wildboarclough}}</ref> is a village in east [[Cheshire]], England, in the [[civil parish]] of [[Macclesfield Forest and Wildboarclough]] within the [[Peak District National Park]]. Bilsborough states that the name arises from the rapid rise in levels of the Clough Brook after a heavy fall of rain, but Mills<ref>{{cite book |last=Mills |first=A D |title=Dictionary of English Place-Names (2nd ed) |year=1997 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |isbn=0-19-280074-4 }}</ref> gives it as a deep valley (or clough) frequented by [[wild boar]]. According to old legend it was the place where the last wild boar in [[England]] was killed.<ref>{{cite book |last=Bilsborough |first=Norman |title=The Treasures of Cheshire |year=1983 |publisher=The North West Civic Trust |location=Manchester |isbn=0-901347-35-3 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/treasuresofchesh00norm }}</ref>
From the nearby summit of [[Shutlingsloe]] ({{Convert|506|m|ft|abbr=}}), which lies just to the north-west of the village, a wide panorama of the [[Cheshire Plain]] and the Peak District can be obtained. In clear conditions the view extends as far as the [[Mersey Estuary]] and the Welsh [[Clwydian Hills]] {{Convert|40|mi|km|abbr=}} to the west, and the cooling towers of the power stations on the banks of the [[River Trent]] {{Convert|50|mi|km|abbr=}} to the east. Nearby is the hamlet of [[Saltersford]]. The [[Peak District Boundary Walk]] runs through the village.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=McCloy|first=Andrew|title=Peak District Boundary Walk: 190 Miles Around the Edge of the National Park|publisher=Friends of the Peak District|year=2017|isbn=978-1909461536}}</ref>
