One of my favourite places to walk around Macclesfield is Teggs Nose. We go there all year round and we often take our visits for a walk around there. This place has some spectacular views over the Macclesfield forest and it’s only a 10 minute drive from our place.
I love going to Teggs Nose county park after a stressful day. We went there a few days ago, but my favourite time is at the beginning of spring when all the fields are green and flowers start to make its appearance. If you are lucky, you can get a sunny day and finish your walk with a cuppa and a sunbathing session.
If it snows, Teggs Nose is pretty packed with families and can get really cold. Last year, for instance, my iPhone collapsed because of the cold. We were frozen, but, still, it was worth the walk. And you can always get your hands warmed in the café out there!
How to get to Teggs Nose
Teggs Nose is in Buxton Old Road (Google Maps). Parking isn’t free, but 2 hours are only about £1.50. Walks are easy to follow. The shortest one is only about 30-40 mins, although you can take other routes, such as walking downhill to Sutton and go back. This is a lovely walk for begginers, but there are a few more routes you can take if you feel more adventurous.
We love packing a few drinks and snacks and stop by on our way back to the parking to catch our breath and look at the sky. From this area you have a clear view of the planes approaching Manchester airport.
Here you have some pictures of Teggs Nose I hope you like! They have zero Photoshop/filters, so that should make you realise how amazing is this place
