Alderley Edge, Affluent village in Cheshire East, England
Alderley Edge stands at the base of a sandstone escarpment rising 215 meters above sea level, offering views across the Cheshire Plain landscape.
The settlement dates to the 13th century under the name Chorlegh, with the De Trafford family maintaining ownership of most lands since the 15th century.
The village forms part of Cheshire's Golden Triangle, an area known for high-value properties favored by Premier League footballers and entertainment figures.
The railway station provides frequent connections to Manchester and Crewe, while the new bypass reduces traffic through the central village streets.
Ancient copper mines beneath the village, active since Roman times and the Bronze Age, are now maintained by the Derbyshire Caving Club.
