Nestled in the depths of Greater Manchester lies a village that feels worlds away from bustling city life. Marple Bridge, in Stockport, is situated on a picture-perfect spot along its own waterway of the River Goyt.
The little, quaint village is made up of stone buildings that date back to the 18th century, which have been perfectly maintained over the years. During this time, the area became a thriving urban centre; a bridging point on the route between Stockport and Derbyshire.
Leafy Marple Bridge is surrounded by trees and woodlands, now making it the ideal place for gorgeous weekend walks. Visitors will be charmed by the scenic bridge crossing the water, and in the summertime, the place is brimming with hanging baskets and resident herons, among other wildlife.
