Altrincham
This Greater Manchester market town whose food-and-drink scene centres on a market house granted its charter in 1290, Altrincham draws visitors for its café culture and heritage-dense walkable centre. Nearby Dunham Massey Hall — formerly the seat of the Earl of Stamford, now a visitor attraction with three Grade I listed buildings and a deer park — adds a further reason to make the trip. The Bridgewater Canal reached the town in 1765, and Tatton Hall lies a few miles to the south.
