Macclesfield Forest is a forest in Cheshire East close to the old silk mill town of Macclesfield . The forest has four reservoirs. Ridgegate and Trentabank provide drinking water to Macclesfield, Stockport and Congleton.The forest was once owned by the Earl of Chester.
Cheshire's highest hills are close by, Shining Tor which stands at 559 metres and Shutlingsloe at 509 metres. They overlook the forest. Shutlingsloe gets its name from the Celtic Tribe the 'Shutta' and Lowe meaning hill or mound. Tor is the local word for the top of a high hill.

It would almost certainly be financial here in UK as to why there is only one handrail. :)
We do get early leaf fall in the NW of England sometimes but not so much this summer. It has been a fairly dull summer.
I am determined not to put the heating on until October and so as I sit here typing now in my sitting room, Sept 26th 7 40pm , the temperature is 17C INSIDE my house. Which is a little chilly.
Veronica, Very nice early afternoon stroll for me here even though the forest steps probably look kind of challenging going up and more welcoming going down. Do you know why the handrail is just on one side?
Does the "dreadful North of England weather" result in early leaf drop? This past summer was unusually rainy so that as of the end of July the leaves on the ground made me think more of the end of September and the beginning of October.
But the chestnuts and the walnuts are dropping not too early, not too late, right on schedule!
I found this today on my walk and thought it would be of interest.
It has a very old spelling of Macclesfield from when back in the days that "s" was written as an "f " . The spelling proves how old it is.
Thank you.
As I teacher I like nothing better than to pass on information about things that I enjoy or which fascinate me.
Wizzley gives me an opportunity to do this and use my camera too! :)

Only 2 more articles to that 50 milestone. Hope you get there soon.
I subscribe to several mints and write about some of the new coins. But the release from the Royal Mint has not come out yet. Thanks. I can check their website.
Of course you were never as posh as I am.

TY. It is indeed very soothing to shattered nerves.
( The London Mint just advertised a new special edition Battle of the Atlantic Coin in a TV advert. I thought of you, logged in and your message was here! )
Quite impressive images. It appears to be a wonderful place.
Chuckle! My birth in that area was due to an emergency, that there were no maternity beds left in inner Manchester when I staged my grand entrance into the world. The result was an ambulance dash across Cheshire to find a maternity bed. I see myself as a Lancashire person, despite being born in Cheshire
