Giant's Castle Bridge

Highlight • Trail

Giant's Castle Bridge is a beautiful wooden bridge that spans over the River Bollin near Styal in Cheshire. The crossing requires quite a few steep steps to make it up over the other side so hold onto the handrail and watch your footing.

Quarry Bank Mill

Highlight • Structure

Quarry Bank Mill is a National Trust owned site and one of the most perfectly preserved textile factories from the industrial revolution.

The mill was built by industrialist Samuel Greg in the 18th-century and is today open to the public for guided tours. The grounds surrounding the mill are equally as beautiful as the mill itself and are open for the public to roam for free.
