Whaley Bridge is an attractive small town in the High Peak. Whaley Bridge is 18 miles south of Manchester, seven miles north of Buxton, nine miles north east of Macclesfield and 20 miles west of Sheffield. Population approx 7,000. The town stands on the former A6 road, now bypassed. The real glory of Whaley Bridge is the canal basin. The town stands at the end of the Peak Forest Canal, which cuts through the narrow valley parallel to main road and railway. Many visitors come by water, and there is a thriving barge-restaurant base at the canal head.
