There are many nearby local walks inclusive of the renowned Three Shires Head where the county borders of Cheshire, Derbyshire & Staffordshire meet at an old packhorse bridge and waterfall. Other local walks take in the surrounding moorland and The Roaches which has a network of bridleways, trails and beauty spots to explore.

Travelling from either Bosley or Buxton on the A54 (Congleton to Buxton Road) take the turning alongside the Rose & Crown Pub at Allgreave and proceed for approximately 1.5 miles. Just after passing Midgleygate Farm on the right, take the turning on the left at the bend in the road. Continue for a further 0.80 of a mile and the barn and land are directly ahead identified by a Whittaker & Biggs 'For Sale' sign.
