At the top of Alderly Edge you will find this cafe. It is located at the start of the woodland foot paths where you can find old copper mines and tales of the wizard.

Great sit in or take away cafe with a courtyard round the back ideal for storing bikes. Good selection of cakes, drinks and savoury food.
