Town Centre Heritage Trail

The Town Centre Heritage Trail spans 800 years of Stockport's history. Whether you are a visitor, historian, a resident or a schoolchild, you will discover some of the town's most interesting and unusual sites.

The trail covers 36 sites of historic or social significance, including pubs, bridges, statues, museums and brows (a local term meaning a steep, sometimes cobbled hill).

There is also an additional 8 places of interest beyond the town centre, but within easy walking distance. These are described and marked on a separate map within the Heritage Trail leaflet.

The trail starts at the Stockport Tourist Information Centre situated in the heart of Stockport's Market Place where you can collect your free Stockport Town Centre Heritage Trail.

It will take you approximately 90 minutes to walk, covering some 4 kilometres (2 miles) and requires 3,720 footsteps - depending on your stride!

If you require any further information please contact the Tourist Information Centre.
