Loved it! Another gorgeous National Trust Park. Lots of space for parking availability and the most warmest welcome from informative and friendly staff working at Quarry Bank. It was my first time visiting Quarry Bank and it was a lovely experience. We got tickets for the mill which was scheduled and run by a guide which is also lovely and informative. We got to see all the machines turn on and saw how the business expanded and just how young workers were able to work in the mill when it first opened. A fabulous experience and lots of history to learn. This place is brilliant for family, I love that they have a pushchair storage room, always handy especially when you have more than one child and a large buggy! A beautiful bookshop and giftshop is available to go into. We also managed to go for a long walk in the beautiful gardens with lots of bridges and scenic routes. We had a fantastic time, I can't wait to visit again in the summer!
A wonderful combination of manufacturing and social history with attractive gardens in a lovely location. The guides were very good - especially the demonstration of spinning and weaving cotton by hand, and the tour of the apprentice house. Practically speaking there are two good cafes and two shops, and transport for the mobility impaired. It's £19 for a normal adult ticket, which may put people off - but if this is your kind of place you can spend the whole day here.
Great full day out. Really interesting guided tour of the apprentice house. Lovely gardens and glasshouses. Very informative guides in the mill. Huge waterwheel. Pretty woodland walks and a great unspoilt village. Nice community cafe in the village.
Really nice walk around and very interesting history of the cotton mill. Great demos from the National Trust team of each weaving machine, from the humble spinning wheel to the massive and noisy machines powered by water and steam. Lovely gardens although I imagine even better in late spring and summer when more flowers are in bloom.
Lots to see and do at Quarry Bank. Plenty of picnic benches for packed lunches, accessible toilet and baby change facilities were good. My 6 year old enjoyed completing the Easter egg hunt and I thought the gardens were magnificent. Good family day out.
Free car parking. We arrived by 10.30am. Lots of spaces. Very helpful, friendly customer service staff. Gorgeous walks along the Bollin. Lots of families and well behaved dogs. We chose the Giants castle route which includes a path alongside the perimeter fence of Manchester Airports runway 2 so we had great views of arriving and departing planes. The final stages of the walk took us through the quaint Styal village and quiet country lanes.
Really pleasant mill and gardens. The café was fairly expensive but really good quality food. I really enjoyed that the staff were doing demonstrations on each of the floors showing how the cotton was produced. We enjoyed the tour of the apprentice house, the guide was very knowledgeable. Plus free electric car charging was a bonus
Best to visit early to avoid the crowds. If you arrive early, explore the many trails and walks before the main attractions open. The staff are very friendly and informative and will readily answer any questions asked. Lovely to wander along the banks of the River Bollin without which this place wouldn't exist. Gardens and paths very well maintained with great views of the estate from higher vantage points. The Mill has been expertly brought back to life with a working experience of cotton manufacturing to marvel at. Excellent cafe and ice-cream outlet means you won't starve. Well stocked souvenir shop. If you want a real treat, walk up to the weir and watch the Trout leaping in the foaming pool ! A great day out. I only live 8 miles away and can't believe I haven't visited this place sooner. Just Go.
One of the best national trust places we have been to. Big car park so should be fine to get a space. Be aware this place has some steep Hills and some of the buildings have stairs so would be difficult for some people. We only manged to see part of it but wow to see the mill actually working along with the machinery was amazing. The staff are really nice and obviously proud to be there. Will definitely be back to explore the rest.
Not visited for a while, quite a few changes from the improved parking and new entrance centre no man in shed anymore to the new garden and glasshouse works. Mill walkthrough seemed shorter but is always interesting to stop and talk with the volunteers. Usual queue for ice-cream
