There are churches, cafes, parks, bars, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, independent shops and an award winning deli and a grocer (The Barbakaan and The Unicorn). There is an indoor adventure playground with a lovely family friendly cafe attached, where you can have coffee and watch the children play. Chorlton is well served by buses -the Manchester Metro-link tram station is at Stretford and we are close to the motorway network.

An hour and a half away is The Lake District with its lovely countryside, hiking and sailing. The Peak District and its stately homes, including Chatsworth- ('Pemberley' in Keira Knightley's 'Pride and Prejudice') quaint villages and country pubs are 45 minutes by car. Yorkshire -home of the Brontes is accessible and we are within reach of Wales with its safe beaches and mountains of Snowdonia. Liverpool is 45 minutes away -where you could visit the Beatles museum or John Lennon and Paul McCartney's childhood homes or cross the Mersey on the famous ferry! Roman Chester is also well worth a visit with its wonderful river and racecourse. There are many nearby National Trust properties in the region. Our closest are Dunham Massey, Tatton Park and Lyme Hall ('Pemberley' in the 1995 BBC production of 'Pride and Prejudice' with Colin Firth) are all well worth a visit.
