Parks & Nature

The White House at the top of Blackstone Edge is a welcome sight for walkers on the Pennine Way long distance hiking trail. With stunning views over the whole of Manchester and the Cheshire plains its a wonderful place to start and finish a walk along this section of the footpath towards Studley Pike, or up to the gritstone edge from which Black Stone Edge gets its name.

Local beauty spot - busy on sunny days but well worth a visit and a stroll around the Lake, which of course then deserves a drink in the Wine Press.

Food Scene

Great food and a warm welcome in an intimate and cosy atmosphere. The specials are exceptional, but be careful, the portions are generous. The Inn also has it's own micro brewery and the produce is well worth sampling
