M6 travellers interested in history and/or anglo-saxon period: it’s a 5’ detour from the motorway junction. Take a break against tiredness and have a tea with a view at the town square.

A nice little town with a mixture of new and old. Lovely maintained small shops with loads to look at. Friendly people and loads of pubs and coffee shops to choose from. Lots of historic buildings to look at. Some cobble stones about but pavements are accessible to wheelchair users. Nice place.

Well preserved Anglo Saxon era crosses. Good explanations the images carved on the columns are placed in front. Located in the cobbled centre of the town.

Crosses ok, not amazing but they are situated in a beautiful little square in town centre.

Nice little market square with lots of history.

Lovely area to stop and have five. There are lots of little eating places. Sitting outside watching the world go by. We were treated by a local Vespers club turned up for pizza. Felt life we were on holiday for an hour or two.

In a good location in the square, very interesting information board & location

Stunning remains and of wonderful historic interest too. St. Mary's church is also worth a visit.

Interesting piece of history. The information panels that explain the different images and their meanings are useful. Worth a look if you are nearby

The Sandbach Crosses are two 9th-century stone Anglo-Saxon crosses erected in the market place in the town of Sandbach, Cheshire, England. They are unusually large and elaborate examples of the type and are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument. They are eloborately carved with animals and biblical scenes.

Small, wonderful town with stunning Old Hall pub

Located right in the middle of the town centre. A lot of information boards surrounding the crosses which provides details of what each faces of the cross represent and stmbolise.

Large Saxon stone crosses situated in an attractive market square, with information posts explaining the carvings and details. Free to visit and worth stopping by if you're in the area.

Beautiful cobbled market square in a beautiful town

Historic Sandbach, is a nice town to visit and shop with numerous artisan shops. The Saxon crosses are truly amazing with well thought out information boards provided for good background to these remarkable stones. The town square also hosts the Christmas Markets which are well worth a visit.

A quaint little village with a few shops and olde worlde Black and White Pubs. It has many attractions throughout the year which are fairly interesting it has a weekly market which 30 years ago was a magnificent market but alas it is in decline, it was the place to go every Thursday back then. If your traveling by rail it is quite a long walk into town but you can catch a bus which takes you right into the centre of Sandbach.

Always open, impressive and has detailed info boards.

Two 9th-century stone Anglo-Saxon crosses.Early christian relics that have survived wars and vandalism.

8th century carved sandstone crosses.

Old, old, old...And unique. Worth a visit.

A very interesting local landmark. Surrounded by some great pubs, restaurants and cafes.

Nice place good shops and pubs

Nice village square to watch world go by

Lovely town steeped in history, lots of shops and places to eat also good for a relaxing walk

Sandbach is a lovely town, that you can see grew from a village, it largely retains its old Englishness, though I suspect that it's a battle against the big stores and the take aways, most shops are still open and trading, may they continue to do so.

Love seeing old statues/crosses.

Where else can you see 1200 year old monuments for free.

Very historic and monumental...a lot of history

Sandbach is a lovely small market town, and the cobbled square where the Crosses stand is full of charm and character. Apart from the 1 ugly new building they allowed to be built in the 70's and the complete lack of imagination for using the historic square in the 21st century. It's an asset to the town.

Sandbach is one of the most lovely Cheshire towns brilliantly served by independent retailers and just a few chain stores its a joy to visit .
