National Trust
Enjoy some of the finest views across Cheshire towards the Peak District by visiting The Edge, run by the National Trust. Only a few minutes walk from Wizards Thatch, The Edge has spectacular scenery, where you can walk through oak and beech woodland, see prehistoric and roman copper mines and treat yourself to a traditional afternoon tea at the Wizards Café.Explore The Edge and discover the Wizards’ face encased for ever in the rock and make a wish at the wishing well, dance in the druids circle or seek out the Golden Stone for its reputed mystical powers. Meander around woods to Hare Hill, a charming wooded and walled garden with a pergola and sculptures at its heart and back to the car park for a delicious locally made Granelli's ice cream.
Alderley Edge is surrounded by other National Trust properties such as Lyme Park, where they filmed Pride & Prejudice, Dunham Massey, Tatton Park, the interior was used for Brideshead Revisited and Little Morton Hall, probably Britain’s finest timber framed moated manor house.
