Whaley Bridge is a small town situated amongst the hills of the Peak District being in close proximity to Fernilee and Errwood Reservoirs, whilst having that sense of countryside living, you still have many local amenities offering a good selection of independent cafes, shops, restaurants and public houses, as well as the larger supermarkets.  There are excellent commuter links by way of rail and bus services to Manchester, Manchester Airport and surrounding towns.  The outstanding Peak District National Park is a short drive away accessing fantastic hiking and biking trails, such as Kinder Scout the highest point in the Peak District and the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, when ramblers peacefully protested on private land, contributing to the change in legislation allowing people to walk freely on access land.
