Why stay
Why stay in Bollington?
Locals call it Happy Valley. Step out of the door and you can climb to White Nancy, the little white landmark on Kerridge Hill built around 1815, follow the old railway along Middlewood Way or wander the Macclesfield Canal past the mills. A night or two gives you time to do more than one.
Staying over also means slower mornings: breakfast in the village, a walk while the paths are quiet, and time to look round the shops and pubs once the day visitors have gone home.

Getting here
Visiting Bollington without a car
Two bus routes serve the village. The D&G 10 runs between Bollington and Macclesfield town centre via Tytherington. The 391 links Macclesfield, Kerridge, Bollington, Pott Shrigley, Poynton and Stockport, and has run seven days a week since April 2026.
Nearby rail options include Macclesfield, Prestbury and Adlington stations. Macclesfield has mainline trains and its bus station is close to the railway station. See the council's travel information.
Timetables change, so please check the operators' current times before you travel. We don't reproduce them here.
During your stay
Walking, cycling and exploring
Our Bollington walking guide covers White Nancy, Middlewood Way, the canal and the Heritage Trail, with links to each original map. Bringing bikes? The cycling guide starts with Middlewood Way and the council's mapped circuits.
In the village, the Bollington Discovery Centre at Clarence Mill tells the story of the town, its mills and canal. The Bridgend Centre runs guided walks, and Bollington Arts Centre on Wellington Road has a programme of music, talks and shows. Check their own pages for current dates and times.
For a day further afield, there's Lyme, the National Trust house and gardens on the edge of the Peak District, the reservoirs and trails of Macclesfield Forest, or Tegg's Nose Country Park, which is for walking, not cycling.
The council's free visitor guide, with a footpath map, is available from the Bridgend Centre, Town Hall and library. You can find more ideas in Explore Bollington.
