Welcome to Poynton
Poynton is a small thriving Cheshire town with a village feel surrounded by beautiful countryside. It's only 10 miles from Manchester airport and easily within the Manchester commuter belt.
Poynton's recently regenerated village centre, with its quality shops and restaurants and plenty of free car parking, successfully combines its historic past as a small mining village with having one of the most modern and innovative Shared Space schemes in Europe.
Poynton really is an ideal place to visit, live, work, shop and play.
Poynton has so much to offer. Recreational walkways, cycle paths and bridleways have been formed along old colliery railway trackbeds linking to the Middlewood Way, the local canal network and the adjoining Peak District.
Poynton Park, with its large pool, is home to the famous Poynton Show every August and the Brookside Garden Centre houses a charming miniature railway that is always popular with children and adults alike.
Come and visit the Nelson Pit visitor centre and the award winning Anson Engine Museum, which besides being home to one of Europe's largest collections of combustion engines, tells the story of Poynton's mining heritage along with a huge scale model of the village as it was 100 years ago.

Places to see in ( Formby - UK )
Formby is a civil parish and town within the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in Merseyside, England. Historically in Lancashire, three manors are recorded in the Domesday Book under Fornebei as Halsall, Walton and Poynton. The town's early recorded industry points to cockle raking and shrimp fishing (in addition to arable ventures) last through into the 19th century. By 1872, the township and sub-district was made up of two chapelries (St. Peter and St. Luke), and contained Birkdale township, the hamlets of Ainsdale and Raven-Meols and Altcar parish. Formby was built on the plain adjoining the Irish Sea coast a few miles north of the Crosby channel where the sands afford shelter to the towns.
Formby is affluent with high owner-occupation and car ownership. Strong economic ties are retained with nearby Liverpool to which it acts as a dormitory town for some of its residents. The greater area is a popular tourist destination during the summer months, with day trippers attracted to its beaches, sand dunes and wildlife - most particularly the endangered red squirrels and natterjack toads. The area is conserved by the National Trust, and designated a site of Specific Scientific Interest.
Erosion of sand on the beach at Formby is revealing layers of mud and sediment, laid down in the late Mesolithic to the late Neolithic, approximately 8,000 – 5,000 years ago, and covered in the early Bronze Age. Formby Hall is a Grade II listed building dating back to 1223. It has traditionally been the home of the lords of the manor. Much of the land around it is now a golf course.
Formby Beach is the location of the first lifeboat station in the UK. It is believed to have been established as early as 1776 by William Hutchinson, the Dock Master for the Liverpool Common Council. Although no exact record has been found, the boat used is believed to have been a 'Mersey Gig'.
Formby is a coastal town roughly 7 sq miles (17 km²) in the borough of Sefton. The town is built upon the west of a large flat area of land called the West Lancashire Coastal Plain. The town is 1.5 feet (0.5 metres) below sea level at its lowest point. Formby's highest point is within the sand dunes that separate the Irish Sea from Formby, sand dunes are ever changing in shape and formation so there is no fixed point. The River Alt runs into the Irish Sea just south of Formby at Hightown.
Formby is in a temperate climate zone, with mild winters and warm summers. Formby's coastline faces an ongoing threat from water based erosion, with high tides washing away yards of sand dunes. In an attempt to stem this, in some years discarded Christmas trees are collected and planted by rangers to help slow this effect.
Formby has a significant tourist industry most notably between the warmer months of May and September. In particular it's popular with day trippers from Liverpool and other industrial towns in Merseyside and West Lancashire. There are two main spots along the Formby Coast which are particularly popular with the public.
Formby Bypass (A565) was built over fifty years ago to take the major Liverpool to Southport route out of Formby and cut alongside the fringe of the town. The bypass is a dual carriageway with two roundabouts and two sets of traffic lights. It has been the scene of many accidents, some fatal and there are calls from some for the scrapping of a proposed motorway link as a result. The B5195 links Formby with Ormskirk and Maghull. Motorways are easily accessible, the M58 and M57 are both 6 miles from Formby.
