Luxury Holiday Cottages In Macclesfield
Macclesfield is located in the east of Cheshire, on the River Bollin, a tributary of the River Mersey. It is close to the county borders of Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire. Shopping can be had in the nearby towns of Stockport, Buxton and Congleton and sightseeing in the picturesque town of Chester which is only 30 miles away. For lovers of the countryside there is the Cheshire Plain to the west and to the east lie the hills of the Peak District. The town is most famous for its once thriving silk industry, commemorated in the local Silk Museum. Although "Silk Town" seems to be the preferred nickname these days, Macclesfield's traditional local nickname is "Treacle Town"—supposedly from an incident where a merchant spilt a load of treacle on Hibel Road, and the poor rushed out to scoop it off the cobbles. Macclesfield makes a great base from which you can hire one of the luxury holiday cottages on offer for a holiday to remember.
