Wilmslow & Alderley Edge
Wilmslow and Alderley Edge sit side by side in north east Cheshire, a short hop from Manchester. The River Bollin flows through Wilmslow's Carrs Park towards Styal, where Quarry Bank Mill is cared for by the National Trust, while Alderley Edge lies at the foot of a wooded sandstone escarpment with long views over the Cheshire Plain and its own legend of a wizard. Handforth and Mobberley complete the area. Follow this page for good news from the shops, schools, clubs and people of both places.
