We took the kids on a walk through Gatley and Cheadle today, and even without too much moaning – though the promise of chocolate cake in Costa probably helped.

We walked through Abney Park, then past Mill Lane Cemetary (where the kids stocked up with conkers), along Mill Lane past the Alex.  Then carrying on past the end of Mill Lane, we followed the path past Barnes Hospital, alongside the railway line and finally down South Park Road and back home.

Abney Hall, if Wikipedia is to believed, is where Agatha Christie wrote two of her stories and the basis for several of her fictional country houses.  The Hall was also Cheadle Town Hall from 1959 to 1974.
