About

The area around Gawsworth and Macclesfield Forest lies on the western edge of the Peak District. It is characterised by a mix of pastoral farmland, historic parkland and dense woodland. The landscape includes the large reservoir of Ridgegate and the steep, wooded cloughs of the forest itself, which is a remnant of the ancient Royal Forest of Macclesfield.
