Cheadle Hotels

History and architecture

The most recognisable sight in Cheadle is St Giles Catholic Church. It's known as ‘Pugin's Gem', the pinnacle of architect A. W. N Pugin's vision for the design of religious buildings. The highlight for visitors is the sight of two large lions adorning the west doors.

There's a ‘Discover the Secret Trail' walking route through the town, bringing you to Cheadle's historical points of interest. It takes you past the church and the Cheadle Discovery and Visitor Centre. Even the centre is inside the old police station building.

Cheadle has held a beer festival for the last decade, usually in August. It includes a few ciders and wines, as well as live entertainment.

Places to eat in Cheadle

When it comes to food and drink, Cheadle has kept with the times. You'll find a J D Wetherspoon on the high street, along with Chinese, Indian, pizza and fish and chip takeaways.

Cheadle Market Hall is a great place to find a traditional butcher and bakery, cheese, sweets, oatcakes and other locally made produce. The Victorian market building is typically open on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and is busier when the monthly Farmers' Market is on.

Days out

Families frequently stay in town as part of a trip to nearby Alton Towers. The theme park is roughly 15 minutes away from Cheadle by car, and there's a direct bus service.

Cheadle is also close to the Peak District – it takes around half an hour to get to the edge of the national park. The Staffordshire side of the Peak District has The Roaches, a rocky gritstone ridge, and the Manifold Valley with gentler walking and cycling routes.

To explore Staffordshire, booking a hotel in Cheadle is one of the most convenient options.
