Build an itinerary to suit you by choosing from a superb menu of museums and galleries, canal boat rides and ancient mills, hands on creative workshops, historic town walks, antique hunting and fabric factory shops and visits to stately homes built on the fortunes of the textile industry.
Discover the story of the Leek Embroiderers, the Silk Weavers of Macclesfield, the pauper children who worked at Quarry Bank Mill and the Congleton Ribbon Makers.
