Woodford is a semi‑rural village in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, within Greater Manchester in England. Historically part of Cheshire, it sits on the western edge of the Peak District and is popular with people who want countryside within easy commuting distance of Manchester.
The village has a notable industrial past centred on Woodford Aerodrome, a long‑standing aircraft manufacturing and testing site that was later closed and partially redeveloped, leaving a mixture of light industrial estates and residential areas. Today Woodford keeps a village feel with local pubs, walking routes into the surrounding hills and a small but active community, combining rural character with its proximity to the regional economy.
