Local area
This quaint market town has a lot to offer. As does its surrounding area: a number of other equally picturesque towns and villages can be found nearby, each of which hosts a variety of events and is home to a number of attractions.
Just minutes up the road from the development site is Alsager Gardens, an area of open parkland ideal for walking your four-legged friend. And just 0.4 miles away you’ll also find Milton Park. A beautifully kept green space, it boasts a wonderful rose garden among other floral displays, and is the venue of Alsager Music Festival. Organised by local musicians, it offers something for all musical tastes.
The countryside surrounding Alsager is ideal for relaxing strolls. The Salt Line is a mostly flat 1.8 mile route that follows the line of a disused railway through farm- and woodland. The Borrow Pit Meadows, adjacent to the Salt Line, are about 40 acres and includes another 1.25 miles of undulating paths that snake through the area’s mosaic of habitats, including meadows, wetland and scrub. From here you can also access the Trent and Mersey Canal.
Alsager holds a weekly market on Wednesdays. From 9am to 3pm, browse the array of stalls and the variety of different produce, household goods and clothing on offer. For even more shopping opportunities, both Crewe (7 miles) and Congleton (8 miles) hold markets, and Stoke-on-Trent (10 miles) offers excellent high-street and retail centre shopping.
And for the green-fingered among you, Alsager has its own garden association, through which members can manage and rent allotments of different sizes and needs. The town has four allotment sites, one of which is on the same street as the development site. And Alsager Garden Association also hosts an annual show every September. Come join in the community spirit and submit your entry to one of the best-in-show competitions!
