Heights is a hamlet in Saddleworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is directly north of Delph, and four miles northeast of Oldham.
The hamlet has remained a tiny Yorkshire hamlet which little more than a pub, the Royal Oak, a scattering of houses, the parish church, St Thomas, and views over the surrounding farms up to the hills and down to the dale.
The parish church is no longer in regular use, though burials still take place and the graveyard is maintained. The churchyard and graveyard were featured in the film The Parole Officer starring Steve Coogan.
