Alderley Edge National Trust
The National Trust Alderley Edge is a beautiful place to visit, with plenty to do and see.
If you’re looking for something adventurous, then the copper mining history might be of interest. The National Trust Alderley Edge was once home to several mines that extracted copper ore from 1790 until the end of the 19th century.
Visitors can take in some fascinating exhibits at the Mining Museum before taking on one of two walks round Alderley Edge!
