The West end of Hacked Way Lane is a narrow loose gravel lane with elevation running alongside a stone wall. Views of Tegg's Nose heading West.

Great pub with large beer garden at the back. Next to the old Higher Poynton railway station on the Middlewood Way. Also next to a cafe (for ice creams etc) and the Macclesfield Canal.

Saint Stephen, the patron saint of this church commonly known as the "Woodland Chapel," is one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem church and the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates him on Boxing Day, December 26. When Stephen recounted his vision of the open heavens: "But he, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts 7:55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

One of the western part of Peak District greatest treasure. Ideally to be ridden ona proper fatty tyres but still doable on a gravel bike (maybe less fun 😉)
