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.
