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!

Adlington Hall

Reviewed By earthtravelller

Attended a Winter wedding at this beautiful venue. The building is most interesting with one Tudor style facade onto a cobbled courtyard and a grand Georgian facade surrounded by both formal and informal gardens so plenty of lovely backdrops for photos. The Great Hall with roaring fire, historic organ, beams and heraldry made for a stunning location for the wedding ceremony and for photos afterwards. The adjacent barn was also a beautiful venue for the reception with atmospheric decor and good food. Staff throughout were very professional and everyone had a most enjoyable and memorable day

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.

Blaze Farm

Reviewed By Louppg - Greater London, United Kingdom

3rd time visiting Blaze farm over the years and I love going here. Visited with an 11 year old in the Easter holidays - we enjoyed seeing the lambing, holding lambs and petting the baby goat. The farmer was giving running commentary on delivering a lamb and answered our questions well. The lambing shed entrance price was excellent value. Walked along the nature trail and had fairly close up views of the sheep and lambs and geese. There is also a peacock wondering around too! Finished off with a tasty ice cream - great value trip out with lovely animal experiences for all ages! Fab views as well from the siteacross the countryside. If you can't park on the tarmac, keep driving on through the site for parking on rougher terrain further back from the main sheds.
