Tourism
Cheshire East has something to offer everyone - from magnificent scenery and an abundance of superb heritage sites, to stylish shops and restaurants, great gastropubs and cosy country inns.
You can enjoy:
- the dramatic views, rocky outcrops, peaty rivers, heather clad moors, dry stone walls, hill villages and stunning walks of Cheshire’s Peak District.
- the wide, gentle lowlands of the adjacent Cheshire Plain, characterised by canals and waterways, historic buildings and by landmarks like the space age Jodrell Bank.
- Cheshire’s Gardens of Distinction, grand historic estates such as Tatton Park, Arley or Capesthorne and National Trust properties including Little Moreton Hall, Lyme Park and Quarry Bank Mill.
- historic market towns and pretty rural villages.
- fascinating museums telling the story of our silk, cotton and salt heritage.
Many great events take place here, including the RHS Show at Tatton Park, the Nantwich Food and Drink Festival, the Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival, Arley Horse Trials, The Three Shires Textile Festival and concerts at the unique music venues at Gawsworth or Clonter Opera.
