Located approximately five miles from Stockport and situated close to the border between Cheshire and Derbyshire, this active town and its surrounding villages offer many facilities and a thriving community spirit. Boasting a beautiful timber framed chapel, parts of which date from the 14th century, and served by canals and railway links from the latter part of the 18th century, the town stands on the edge of the Peak District and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and footpaths. At the centre of the north-west’s Industrial Revolution, Marple benefited from the introduction of lime kilns and cotton mills in the area.
It has been a busy, thriving town ever since. The Industrial Revolution began the process that would eventually connect Marple to the north-west and beyond. The town is easily accessible from the M60 motorway, and Manchester international Airport is just a short drive away. The town has two railway stations offering services to Manchester, so the area is ideal for those who need to commute to the city centre.
There are a number of highly regarded schools in the area which make it justifiably popular with families.

Famed for its long series of canal locks and picturesque marina, Marple is situated at the meeting of the Peak Forest and Macclesfield canals, which now provide fantastic recreational facilities for walkers, anglers and boaters, as do the nearby Roman Lakes. The nearby village of Compstall boasts the popular Etherow Country Park which has a series of lakes and footpaths and is an oasis for a wide variety of water birds and other wildlife.
Marple has its own swimming pool and boasts a number of thriving sports clubs including rugby, tennis, football, squash and Mellor has its own impressive sports club, the home of a successful lacrosse team.
