The Stockport center is around 3 miles southwest of Manchester City Hall and 3 miles east of Fletcher Moss Gardens.
Below are reviews of the city of Stockport, United Kingdom from an actual visitor's perspective.
The local Brewery, Robinson's , brews excellent beer! The Plaza is an original theatre from the 30's -well worth a visit when a production is playing there. It's easy to get into Manchester, by train or bus, and Reddish Vale country Park is nearby too. Stockport Symphony Orchestra play some wonderful concerts in the Town Hall, which is a beautiful building ( known as The Wedding Cake because of its design).
Loved walking round the market area. Some really quaint buildings especially the Nat West building.
