Alderley Edge
Alderley Edge is a dramatic sandstone escarpment rising above the Cheshire plain, cloaked in woodland and steeped in legend — including tales of a sleeping army guarded by a wizard beneath its rocky crags. The views from the Edge stretch out across the plain to the Peak District beyond, and the network of paths through ancient trees makes it a place of real enchantment.
