Location

Wildboarclough (valley of the wild stream) is a small rural community nestling in the hills on the western side of the Peak District and Dryknowle enjoys one of the premier positions on the eastern side of the valley with spectacular views towards the surrounding hills. It is hard to believe, surrounded by this gorgeous countryside, that you are only a few miles from the thriving market town of Macclesfield and its mainline railway station (London Euston 1hr 47mins).

The town has a number of excellent schools including Beech Hall Preparatory School, Kings School Macclesfield and well regarded state schools. There are national supermarkets and specialist shops, good restaurants and Marks and Spencer. For those who enjoy country pursuits and sports Wildboarclough lies in the Peak National Park with an abundance of walking, cycling and horse riding routes close by. Proper country pubs are within walking distance including the Stanley Arms and the Crag Inn where hearty food and a fireside drink in winter are still a pleasure.
