Posted On: Wednesday September 12, 2007
There’s nothing like a brisk walk in the fresh air and open countryside to lift the spirits. And there’s nowhere quite like the thriving Cheshire village of Bollington – the ideal base for anyone who loves fresh air and walking in the country.

Yet for somewhere with such close proximity to town and city, Bollington remains a friendly, unspoilt rural haven where walking is just one of the many leisure pursuits available on the doorstep.
And in the heart of Bollington are Bollin Heights and Mill Bank Court, two superb new developments from Brighouse Homes, which have been designed using traditional materials that blend seamlessly with local architectural styles.

Situated in the heart of Bollington’s conservation area off Cumberland Drive, Brighouse Homes’ stunning developments offer fantastic views, and immediate access to many walks. Take a stroll along the Dean Valley or up to the famous local folly, White Nancy on Kerridge Hill.
