The Leather's Smithy
Dating from the 18th Century and standing in beautiful surroundings on the edge of Macclesfield Forest and Ridgegate Reservoir, this stone building inn formally a smithy gets its name from William Leather, a local Farrier who in 1821 obtained the first license to sell ale and porter. His portrait can be seen on the pictorial sign.
A popular haunt with walkers, fisherman and country lovers, it is only a mile from Peak Park and three miles from the busy market town of Macclesfield.
A warm, inviting interior with real fires welcomes all visitors.
