Macclesfield, Market town in Cheshire East, England
Macclesfield sits between the Peak District and Cheshire Plain, with the River Bollin flowing through its center at an elevation of 156 meters.
The town received its market charter from Edward I in 1261 and developed into a major silk manufacturing center by the mid-eighteenth century.
The Treacle Market occurs monthly on cobblestone streets, gathering local artisans, food producers, and craft makers from across northwestern England.
The Macclesfield railway station connects to Manchester Piccadilly in 25 minutes and London Euston in under 2 hours via direct trains.
Macclesfield Forest contains four reservoirs that supply water to the region while providing trails for walking and mountain biking activities.
