A gateway to the Peaks and the heart of Macclesfield

Just a stone’s throw from one of the most beautiful national parks in the country, Macclesfield is a town with a story to tell. Once the beating heart of England’s silk industry, its past lingers in the historic mills, cobbled streets, and grand Georgian architecture that shape its character today. But just beyond its doorstep, you’ll find the rolling hills and winding trails of Macclesfield Forest and Tegg’s Nose Country Park, offering some of the most scenic walks in the region. 

As for the town itself, this is a place where industry met nature, where silk-weavers once worked by candlelight, and where the great outdoors is always within reach. So, whether you’re looking for a quaint stop-off point after a wander through town, a hearty meal after a rural trek, or simply welcoming country pubs in Macclesfield, the Blacksmiths Arms is the ideal place to settle in, unwind, and enjoy a taste of timeless British hospitality.
