Places to stay in Poynton
Poynton is located at the easternmost fringe of the Cheshire Plain, 7 miles (11 km) north of Macclesfield, 5 miles (8 km) south of Stockport and 11 miles (18 km) south-southeast of Manchester. Poynton is a prosperous town surrounded by 'green belt' to preserve the countryside, where building is prohibited. It lies in the far north east of the county of Cheshire just to the south of the most southern part of Greater Manchester and just to the west of the Pennine hills which form the backbone of northern England. Poynton Park is on the north side of the town and was the site of Poynton Manor probably since the 13th century. One of lords of the manor built a large pool (small lake!) in the gardens now known as Poynton Pool. There is large annual agricultural show in August called Poynton Show. The village has a number of restaurants and the main shopping street is called Park Lane which boasts some excellent shops such as Susie Blues ladies fashion shop.
