THE SURROUNDING AREA
Often described as ‘the gateway to the Peak', Glossop is a thriving community some 13 miles to the east of Manchester and 24 miles west of Sheffield . Once occupied by the Romans and later mentioned in the Domesday Book, Glossop became an important ‘mill town' during the Industrial Revolution.
Glossop has good transport links which provide easy access to other towns and cities in the surrounding area and beyond. The trans-Pennine A57 and the M67 offer speedy and efficient routes to the national motorway network and, with its own railway station, regular local bus services and Manchester International Airport , just 20 miles away, residents have a variety of transport options.
The town has a fine selection of shops, bars and restaurants, which are further complemented by the choice in nearby Hyde, Ashton and Stalybridge. It is home to the celebrated Glossop Victorian Weekend, one of several annual events staged by the townsfolk. There are many clubs, societies, sports and leisure activities to enjoy, of which Glossop & District Sailing Club at Torside Reservoir, the Partington Player's Theatre, Manor Park, Glossop Victorian Swimming Pool and Glossop North End FC are just a few. Skirted on three sides by the rugged moorlands of the Peak National Park , Glossop welcomes thousands of ramblers every year, who use it as an ideal base from which to explore the great outdoors.
Glossop and surrounding districts offer good educational opportunities for people of all ages, including an impressive range of nursery, primary and secondary schools plus Glossopdale Adult Community Education. Public Libraries are available in Glossop, Hadfield and Gamesley.
