Other things to note Walking from Osborne Villa If walking is your thing, you can walk into open countryside from the front door. Turn left you can get to the canal [1 minute]. At the canal turn right and it goes towards AstraZeneca manufacturing and then onto the village of Bollington. Turn left and walk towards the Buxton Road to more shops, pubs and bars including a fantastic local pizza place, Tommy’s and two excellent coffee shops. Alternatively, you can hop in the car over to Tegg’s Nose or Macclesfield Forest for walks in the local area or drive into the Peak District. Rainow itself has an abundance of footpaths which can be reached from the front door. Eating in Macclesfield is a diverse and enjoyable experience, as you can find a variety of cuisines and restaurants to suit your taste and budget. There is a whole range of eateries from the Picturedrome food hall (Chestergate), which features a range of stalls offering pizza, burgers, tacos, sushi, ice cream through to Lebanese, Indian, Nepalese, Scandic and even anything English! You can walk into town from Osborne Villa and it will take you 15 minutes. There are eateries closer to the house including the Chilli Banana (Thai), and the award winning Achaari (Indian). The best Chinese take away/delivery (in our opinion!), is Shanghai Memories in the town centre.
