Marple Locks

This spectacular flight of sixteen working locks - surrounded by some beautiful wooded countryside and scenic walks - raises the canal 209 feet to reach a height of 518 feet above sea level at Marple.

Very helpful and extra friendly staff, thy opened the pig pens just for us, It’s a thrilling place to see so many farm animals so up close. They are all so nice and well kept. The play ground is so well equipped, it’s just so perfect for so many to enjoy, Thank you. I do hope the poor farmer that got stuck in the mud was able to get freed up. Looked like he was a really stuck in the mud lol Glad it’s open and so hope to return one day,

The Royal Scot

Reviewed By w0nnieb

After a recent refurbishment, this is now a place to visit. The décor is really tasteful, while the pub has been opened up, it still retains the feel of its separate rooms. It’s very stylish with great wallpapers and matching soft furnishings. Good attention to detail giving it a modern feel while retaining the country pub atmosphere, not easy to pull off! The young Landlord really has his finger on the pulse, he keeps an eye on everything and tidies up quickly and efficiently when a table is vacated. He is interested in your opinion as to how the refurbishment works, great people skills. The competition in Marple Bridge is pretty stiff but I’m certain that this place will add a valuable extra layer to the village. Highly recommended.
