Located on the canal side at Clarence Mill, Bollington Discovery Centre brings together the history of this and other great mills of Bollington, the Macclesfield Canal and shows their place and importance to the town.
Here you will find the story of Bollington, from an agricultural backwater in the Macclesfield Forest, to the realisation of the use of its streams and rivers to power the cotton mills that made the town what it is today. King cotton may have gone but fortunately several of our mills survive, finding new and valuable uses in the modern era.
Opening Times: Wednesday 1.30pm - 4pm. Saturday and Sunday: 11am - 4pm
Closed 20th December - 3rd January.

Travelling from Macclesfield drive through the main streets of Bollington to the traffic lights; turn left up Clarence Road. If you are coming from the Whaley Bridge or Pott Shrigley direction it is just as simple; drive through the town to the traffic lights and turn right.
Clarence Mill is in front of you at the top of the hill; follow the road to the right of the mill and turn first left into the mill yard. The multi-story car park is in front of you.
All of the other offers currently avalable across Chester and Cheshire.
