Anson Engine Museum

It used to be one of the best kept secrets among Cheshire's many attractions but over the past few years it has undergone some major changes and is now recognized as one of the country's leading specialist museums. Situated in Higher Poynton, the museum is on the site of the old Anson Colliery. Engine enthusiasts from all over the world come to visit this fascinating museum. However, it is increasingly becoming a "must visit" attraction for non-enthusiasts too and won the "Visitors Choice" award (voted for by the public) when they were asked "where would you take a visitor to the Macclesfield area"? As well as the largest collection of engines in Europe, the museum also has changing displays of local history items such as photographs, maps, mementos and keepsakes from the Vernon Estate and Anson Colliery. Open one weekend a month in 2015.

Pleasantly surprised at just how good this place is, loads to look at, loads of running displays lots of info and really accommodating staff and volunteers, it says allow 2 hours but we were there more like 4 hours, very reasonable prices in the cafe. A really nice day out.

Outpost Paintball

Reviewed By joannejN1767MU

Took 5 12 year olds to paintball. It was arranged short notice and easy to do. Polite and professional to ensure the boys got into the correct slot and payment was easily done. Arrived and we were not disappointed. The boys were given all the equipment and a really good briefing. The staff were always on the course with them and available to advise with clear instructions. The venue is huge, lots of battle zones with different structures to use. Extremely well organized and a great afternoon, very good value for money. Definitely recommend it for others, as it also has a low impact version for younger kids. Perfect for parties

Gauntlet Birds of Prey

Gauntlet, Eagle & Vulture park is the largest bird of prey park in the Northwest of England. With over 120 birds of prey, ranging from the smallest owls to the worlds largest eagle and Vultures it really is a haven for animal lovers. Gauntlet has two daily shows at 12.30 and 3 during the months March-Oct and during the winter months weekends only. As well as our two daily displays we have vulture feeding and meet & greet. We have a large children's play area with plenty of room for picnics. We are on the same site as Fryers garden centre and you can leave at anytime and come back for our displays. For those wishing to get closer we have bird of prey experiences which are run 7 days a week throughout the year. This gives people the opportunity to handle and fly the birds.

We visited the park with my elderly parents and two young grand children aged 6 and 11. We all had a wonderful experience with Meet and Greet sessions , the Vulture experience and the wonderful flying experience at the end of the day when over 30 birds gave an awe inspiring display set to music. What a great day out and very reasonable. We had a snack type lunch and coffees from the little cafe area but my daughter and partner along with their children went to the Garden Centre next door as they are gluten free. The birds are well looked after, well loved , staff are knowlegeable and enthuiastic. I cannot fault it at all.

Land Rover Experience

Reviewed By _EvergreenPS - Cheshire, United Kingdom

We had an enjoyable experience driving a Defender up steep muddy terrain, through deep water and occasionally managing on just three wheels! We experienced this during the COVID restrictions our with our instructor Don leading the way in a separate vehicle, expertly guiding us via radio up hills through deep water and down steep muddy trails expertly talking us through any difficult situations. The castle is stunning and we ended our trip in the lovely setting of the castles brasserie. A great experience which we would thoroughly recommend trying.
