Welcome to Poynton

Poynton is a small town located in Cheshire, England. It is situated on the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. Poynton was once a thriving mining town, with coal mining being the main industry in the area. Today, the town has a population of around 14,000 people and is a popular destination for tourists looking to explore the Peak District.

One of the main attractions in Poynton is the Macclesfield Canal, which runs through the town. The canal was built in the early 19th century and was used to transport coal and other goods to Manchester. Today, the canal is a popular spot for boating and fishing, and there are several pubs and restaurants located along its banks. Another popular attraction in Poynton is the Anson Engine Museum, which houses a collection of steam engines and other industrial machinery. The museum is a great place to learn about the history of the town and the role that industry played in its development.

Poynton is also home to several parks and nature reserves, including Lyme Park and the Middlewood Way. Lyme Park is a large estate that was once owned by the Legh family and is now open to the public. The park features a stately home, formal gardens, and a deer park. The Middlewood Way is a 10-mile walking and cycling trail that runs from Macclesfield to Marple. The trail passes through Poynton and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Overall, Poynton is a charming town with plenty to see and do, making it a great destination for visitors to Cheshire.
