Imaginative Textiles by Stephanie Ramage
Weave together the perfect package around the fascinating Textile towns of Macclesfield, Congleton and Leek. Explore this amazing region and discover its many textile treasures. 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. Also, visit one of the many farm shops, markets or festivals, not forgetting to take refreshment at one of the many country pubs, historic inns or gourmet restaurants.
Why not stay in the area in one of the stylish country inns, homely farmhouses, contemporary hotels or cosy self-catering cottages.
