Alderley Edge

Nature and Parks in Manchester

"Another National Trust property, just beyond the limits of southern Manchester in the neighboring county of Cheshire, Alderley Edge is a village famous for being home to scores of Ferrari-driving footballers. Just beyond the clusters of million dollar (and then some) houses, though, is the Edge itself: a red sandstone cliff that overlooks the woods and fields of the county. Numerous popular walks run through the forest, some hilly and strenuous, some more gentle. All of them will take you through some of the area’s best and best-loved countryside. If you like dogs, then the pedigree chums of the area will definitely be there to keep you company, as it’s a number-one spot for dog walkers. There’s also a sweet tearoom where everyone finishes up for coffee and cake." - MATADOR_NETWORK
