Dean Mills Reservoir image

Dean Mills Reservoir
Historical landmark
👍👍 Oddly enough I didn’t even know this reservoir was here despite the fact that I have surmounted winter hill on numerous occasions. This was a welcome addition to my walk. It is approximately ten minutes off the path to winter hill but well worth the diversion. It is so calm and peaceful- indeed I on...

Quarry Bank House
Historical landmark
👍👍 I go walking through Quarry Bank (National Trust Land) most days either before or after work the latter being to wind down! It is such a peaceful setting. There are lots of trails and sometimes you can walk for an hour or so without seeing anybody else. The scenery is sometimes quite spectacular and...

Barrow Bridge Chimney image

Barrow Bridge Chimney
Historical landmark
👍👍 A much loved local landmark. "One that Fred Dibnah missed", although he did a lot of restoration work here. An interesting brick flue for the chimney still exists below ground. Home to Peregrine's when they're raising young. A good place to view is from nearby Moss Bank Park.

Tatton Hall image

Tatton Hall
Historical landmark
👍 Great day out but be aware, your NT membership does NOT give you discounted or free access to the farm where the playground is. £21 for a family ticket is still a lot considering what people might pay for lunches, train ride, fare and a the add ons etc. Gardens are beautiful and walking routes for m...

👍👍 The Free Trade Hall on Peter Street, Manchester, England, was a public hall, constructed in 1853–56 on St Peter’s Fields, the site of the Peterloo Massacre. It is now a Radisson hotel. The hall was built to commemorate the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. The architect was Edward Walters. The hall...

Styal Cross image

Styal Cross
Historical landmark
👍👍 Visited on a bank holiday and it's lovely to see all the bits they keep adding over the years, especially to the gardens. Well worth a visit. My only gripe is that you now have to buy an entrance ticket that includes everything. Even if you don't want to go in the mill etc. It used be a lot cheaper...

Torr Vale Mill
Historical landmark
👍👍 Great place for a walk even though it was raining. There's also a small museum with a little cafe room and shop. The museum has a little simulated mine kids can crawl through. The lady there was very helpful and told us about what the mill is currently used for. We spent about an hour and a half the...

White Nancy
Historical landmark
👍👍 Loved this walk! Quite an incline to get to the top but manageable from a few different paths. Lots of places to wander off to around and easy paths to follow. Cracking views from the top on a clear day. Few free council car parks to park in Bollington then a little walk up to the country park. Nice...
