This is the Middlewood Way in a deep shady cutting, looking south towards Bollington from the Shrigley Road Bridge, with telephoto assistance. For much of its length, the Middlewood Way runs along an old railway track close to the Macclesfield Canal, and there are many options for easy circular walks. Here at Higher Poynton in the 1940s, up to 28 trains per day called at the station (which was demolished in 1977). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlewood_Way The Way follows the route of the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway, opened in 1869 and closed in 1970. The track was lifted in early 1971. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macclesfield,_Bollington_and_Marple_Railway
