Macclesfield lies on the fringes of the Peak District, and made a name for itself in the 17th century as a silk manufacturing centre. Many of the town’s attractions are connected with the textiles industry. The National Trust own two mills: Quarry Bank Mill & Styal Estate and Nether Alderly: and the Silk Museum, Paradise Mill and the Heritage Centre are also great sources of information on this aspect of town life.
