Right on the high street of leafy Alderley Edge, you’ll find De Trafford Arms – a quaint and historic country pub hotel in the heart of Cheshire. Built over 200 years ago, this pub, restaurant and hotel has been a beacon for Cheshire tourists and Alderley locals through generations.
The old farming town is now the residence of many famous footballers and regularly appears on the Real Housewives of Cheshire television show. It's even been called the champagne capital of Britain thanks to the sheer amount of fizz consumed by locals, and was once home to David and Victoria Beckham.
There's so much on offer from the doorstep. For lovers of folklore, Alderley Edge is steeped in legend and said to be the resting place of King Arthur and the wizard Merlin beneath its striking sandstone cliffs. Visitors can explore the Wizard Walk trail, which offers breathtaking views along the way. In fact, the woodlands of Alderley Edge are so enchanting that they’re often regarded as one of the most romantic spots for a surprise proposal.
From De Trafford Arms, visit the iconic Jodrell Bank in nearby Macclesfield or head up to the Anderton Boat Lift Visitor Centre in Northwich for some man-made marvels. Manchester city centre is only a short drive away, or for something more natural, visit Tatton Park in Knutsford to see stunning gardens come rain or shine.
Then, once your legs have had enough, come back to the pub to explore our food menu and enjoy a classic British dish from our restaurant and a few drinks before you hit the hay.
