Congleton Attractions

 
The Macclesfield Canal was one of the last narrow canals to be built, indeed, it was very nearly a railway! A variety of ideas were proposed and the present canal was approved by Act of Parliament in April 1826. The completed canal was opened on 9th November 1831 at a cost of UKP320,000. The route of the canal was surveyed by Thomas Telford. However, construction was managed by William Crosley who became the canal's engineer.

In Elizabethan times Gawsworth was the home of Mary Fitton, the supposed ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Today, broad lawns studded with evergreen trees and shrubs contrast well with the half-timbered architecture of the Hall, and the formal rose gardens still retain an Elizabethan character. To the south, the Hall looks out over medieval parkland enclosed by a crumbling 16th century wall. The mounds and terraces here were once thought to be a tilting yard - where jousting was practised; yet they are almost certainly all that remains of a sizeable formal Elizabethan pleasure garden. The gardens also contain an open-air theatre with covered grandstand where plays are performed in the summer.

Little Moreton Hall ("Location for TV's Moll Flanders") - Britain's most perfect and friendliest moated Tudor house offers fish, ducks and quizzes for the children, free guided tours and a tranquil garden for adults. Also of note are the recreated Yew Tunnel and the historic herb and vegetable gardens.

On the outskirts of Congleton lies a large hill known as the Cloud. The Cloud is steeped in history, part of it being quarried by Thomas Telford in order to build the Macclesfield Canal. On the cloud lies the Bridestones a neolithic burial chamber with two standing stones. The Bridestones have been linked to strange Unearthly lights and even an alien abduction which is covered on our folklore page.
