Not long ago, a rural backwater to the south east of Hale Barns village, but now overtaken by the ever-burgeoning spread of Manchester International Airport. At its eastern end, it used to intersect the Wilmslow Road at the neighbouring parish of Ringway - the hamlet which gave its name to the original airport. To the south-east of the road is Sunbank Wood - a once-quiet nature reserve - bordering the valley of the River Bollin.
