About

Woodley is a residential suburb situated north of Stockport town centre. The area largely consists of housing estates built throughout the 20th century, alongside local shops and services along Hyde Road. Open green spaces are provided by several parks and the proximity of the Peak Forest Canal, which runs along its western edge.

The area is notable for the former Woodley Aerodrome site, where aircraft were once manufactured and tested. This industrial heritage is reflected in some local street names. The canal towpath offers a route for walking and cycling through the area.
