 From the Dog & partridge on the junction of Palmerston Street and Wellington Road, Adlington Road runs down to the town boundary with Adlington. This is just beyond the last house in the street. All the properties are fine stone cottages with two terraces at a right angle to the street and one detached cottage down beside the river. The area, including the Recreation Ground, is known as Gnathole.
On the west side of the street find the ten mile long Middlewood Way, the old Macclesfield, Bollington & Marple Railway, which has been converted into a recreational area for walking, cycling and horse riding. The ranger station and car park are located in front of the viaduct. Access can be made by steps from the back of the car park. Beside the car park there is an older children's play ground with an excellent and very popular skate board ramp. Younger children will find play facilities at Coronation Gardens.
On the east side of Adlington Road is the main entrance to the Recreation Ground which contains cricket and soccer pitches together with tennis courts and a bowling green. In Adlington road you will find the old Conservative Club, now the home of the Bollington Group.
