Just over the borough border are two more distinctive historic houses: Dunham Massey (a National Trust property) at Altrincham and Bramall Hall - a superb example of Cheshire black-and-white architecture. Biddulph Grange (another National Trust property) garden is a few miles to the South.

Shopping in Chester, the potteries at Stoke-on-Trent, the glorious spa town of Buxton, the renowned Manchester club scene, Alton Towers to the south, the Catalyst Chemical Industry Museum at Widnes, Liverpool for Beatles maniacs...the list is endless.
