The beautiful town less than 20 miles from Manchester known as the 'Happy Valley'

It was once voted the best place to live in the North West – and it’s easy to understand why. Tucked away on the outskirts of the Peak District National Park is the small but bustling town of Bollington.

The area is surrounded by beautiful countryside and can be found in the western foothills of the Pennines, just above the Cheshire Plains.

The thriving town is known for its independent shops, cafes and pubs. A number of historic mills still stand in the area, many now converted to apartments, revealing the town’s industrial past around every corner.
