Bollington is a compact former mill town in Cheshire East, England, set in the steep-sided valley of the River Dean beneath Kerridge Hill and overlooked by the distinctive white folly White Nancy. Its Victorian textile mills, including Clarence Mill, line the valley and many have been converted to housing and studios; walkers and cyclists use nearby green routes such as the Macclesfield Canal towpath and the Middlewood Way, with the hills offering easy access towards the Peak District.
The town retains a lively community feel with independent shops, cafés, arts events and a long-running local festival, and a strong creative and small-business presence alongside commuters travelling to Macclesfield and Manchester. The mix of industrial heritage, dramatic local scenery and active community groups gives Bollington a distinctive character that attracts both residents and visitors.
