What's this hill in the Peak District?

I ride in the peaks a lot, near the Macclesfield end and often see a weird shaped hill, that looks like it's been designed by aliens or something. I'm still exploring some of the roads round there but I can't seem to work out how to reach this hill. It seems to go up very high.

Is there actually a road that goes up it?

I took this photo of it the other month:

Anyone know it?

    Is it near that ice cream farm? I remember it being snow capped in the winter.

    Shutlingsloe it is. Also referred to as the "Cheshire Matterhorn". Popular MTB trail through Macclesfield Forest take you near, and passed a junction with a footpath up the hill. But this is a footpath, so I'd only go there on foot.
