Parks & Nature
The Middlewood Way was once a railway line but is now a very pleasant bridle way. It runs between Macclesfield and Marple, passing just at the end of our road, so is ideal for walks, dog walks, bike rides etc. It can be muddy underfoot and you might well meet some local riders. It makes for a great circular walk with the Macclesfield Canal, and is the easiest way to get to the Miners Arms pub from our house if on foot.

Quarry Bank Mill was remarkable in the Industrial Revolution for the way the owner looked after his workforce. The mill is still running with working water wheel powering working weaving machines. The tour is fascinating and takes in the school house and the local houses built for the workers.

Not National Trust, because it's still a private residence. The house is enormous and impressive and the gardens are beautiful. They host an annual exhibition of modern art in the grounds. There is also a children's adventure playground, farm etc. Well worth a visit. Chatsworth was the set for Mr Darcy's house in the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice.

A lovely trip out in itself, through Peak District countryside, but Castleton is the place to go down into caverns and mines! One of them is even a boat ride on an underground river. The rock in the area means that for centuries Castleton has been the place to mine for Blue John stone, which is unique to this area. A trip up to the English Heritage castle is worth a go too.

One of our nearest seaside resorts. When the tide is right there are long sandy beaches, where you can find quiet spots if you don't wish to be in the touristy zone. There are also plenty of bars and restaurants for the end of a day by the sea.

Fantastic shops and bursting with history. Amazing cathedral. A Roman walled town where you can still walk around the walls. There are Roman exhibitions you can do with the children if you wish, or else just enjoy the amazing shopping on the double layered Tudor shopping streets called the Rows.
