Best indoor bouldering wall I've visited, which has route resets every couple of weeks which is a must if you're planning on going again and again. Cafe is unreal, and all the staff and other climbers are approachable and helpful whatever you may need. Definitely recommend it to any experienced and/or regular climbers, or complete beginners or families that've never tried climbing before - it isn't as daunting as you'd think and you'll soon be hooked!

The Silk Museum & Paradise Mill

Follow the journey of silk making, from cocoon to loom at The Silk Museum. As well as the stunning displays of silk items, there is a fascinating programme of temporary exhibitions to enjoy. Paradise Mill is next door. Step back into the 1930s with a guided tour; see restored Jacquard looms and machinery, and watch as they weave their magic!

Reviewed By Sw123Uk - Witheridge, United Kingdom

Wonderful place. Guided tour of Paradise Mill was excellent. It’s full of old looms and related silk weaving machinery. Insight into an old industry and way of life.

I phoned first and left a message on the answer phone when no-one answered. We were visiting the area soon and I wanted some information regarding things to do in the area. A week later a map and some brochures arrived in the post, mostly walks and country parks locally but useful. Many thanks. When we visited Macclesfield, we called in for directions to a particular mill shop and a restaurant. It was easy to find, in the market place. The lady was very helpful.
