Scouthead is a village in the civil parish of Saddleworth in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England. It is traversed by the A62 road, and occupies a hillside amongst the Pennines. The village’s setting on a hillside provides a scenic backdrop characteristic of the Pennine landscape, while the A62 offers a direct route through the area. Scouthead’s inclusion within the civil parish of Saddleworth places it in a rural context that balances accessibility to larger towns in Oldham with the tranquillity of countryside living. The location within Greater Manchester situates the village within the broader metropolitan area, yet its hillside position and the presence of the A62 maintain a distinct, village‑character environment. Residents benefit from the natural surroundings of the Pennines while retaining convenient road access to neighbouring communities and services in Oldham and the surrounding region.
