Middlewood Way

Highlight • Trail

Middlewood Way is an 11-mile (16-km) traffic-free greenway linking Macclesfield and Marple.

This mostly flat route winds through fields and small towns like Bollington. While not as scenic as trails like Tissington, it’s still a charming ride. Shared with walkers and horse riders, some sections require caution and slower speeds due to limited space.

In wet weather expect muddy conditions, with a slick surface that can leave you messy. In dry weather, the hardpack path offers a smooth and enjoyable ride.

The station closed in January 1970, when the line between Macclesfield and Marple closed; the buildings were demolished and the track lifted by the end of spring 1971. The station site now forms a car park and picnic site on the Middlewood Way
