I spent approx 3 hours here and didn’t cover all the places to visit- next time I am coming with out my dog, it’s so dog friendly (90pct of shops allow them) that you are stopping every few mins to talk to other dog owners! Which is just fantastic xThe swans are super friendly as well but not with dogs!! If you love and appreciate history and lots of cafes etc, then this is a beautiful way to spend a day out. Car parks are cheap at a £1 an hour, plenty of toilets, plenty of gift shops with local artist’s creations.

What a hidden gem of a place. At the back end of biddulph, a place called Gillow heath there is a mini garden centre that has extremely reasonable priced plants, yes you read that right. There is a car park, a small shop that sells plant pots etc and an extensive range of plants. Set in a glorious place which has some amazing views.

I have been here a few times and it’s always a wonderful experience! I’ve attended one of the throwing weekends with Jon French (amazing potter) as well as collecting free (YES FREE) samples of clay but that’s not the best bit, when I was admiring the room with all the art a beautiful blue frenchie dog came bombing towards me and insisted on a fuss. Best Monday EVER

This place is the bees knees. If you want to have a go at making ceramics- go here. Dawn (the owner) is an excellent teacher, knowledgeable and is equipped with so many things (she can invent workable tools as well)

Great place. Our whole house has been done by these guys. They are very knowledgeable and give you a few price ranges and are very honest about the different ranges they have. Always a fantastic price as well.
