Poynton is a small thriving Cheshire town with a village feel surrounded by beautiful countryside. It's only 10 miles from Manchester airport and easily within the Manchester commuter belt.
Poynton's recently regenerated village centre, with its quality shops and restaurants and plenty of free car parking, successfully combines its historic past as a small mining village with having one of the most modern and innovative Shared Space schemes in Europe.
Poynton really is an ideal place to visit, live, work, shop and play.
Poynton has so much to offer. Recreational walkways, cycle paths and bridleways have been formed along old colliery railway trackbeds linking to the Middlewood Way, the local canal network and the adjoining Peak District.
Poynton Park, with its large pool, is home to the famous Poynton Show every August and the Brookside Garden Centre houses a charming miniature railway that is always popular with children and adults alike.
Come and visit the Nelson Pit visitor centre and the award winning Anson Engine Museum, which besides being home to one of Europe's largest collections of combustion engines, tells the story of Poynton's mining heritage along with a huge scale model of the village as it was 100 years ago.
