Whaley Bridge is a small town situated amongst the hills of the Peak District being in close proximity to Fernilee and Errwood Reservoirs, whilst having that sense of countryside living, you still have many local amenities offering a good selection of independent cafes, shops, restaurants and public houses, as well as the larger supermarkets. There are excellent commuter links by way of rail and bus services to Manchester, Manchester Airport and surrounding towns. The outstanding Peak District National Park is a short drive away accessing fantastic hiking and biking trails, such as Kinder Scout the highest point in the Peak District and the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, when ramblers peacefully protested on private land, contributing to the change in legislation allowing people to walk freely on access land.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
