The super-rich village home to footballers and millionaires where you can get cut-price designer clothes
It's famous for its vast mansions home to footballers and millionaires, but venture into the heart of the charming village of Prestbury and it's a little like stepping back in time. The pretty main street is a cluster of historic cottages that have been given a new lease of life by quirky independent shops, cafes and restaurants.
But being so close to rural Cheshire countryside here, you're as likely to see a huge tractor lining up behind the Rolls Royce, Lotus and Bentleys thundering through the village on the average day. Mum-of-one Christine is also known as the "poodle lady" in the village, thanks to her beloved three dogs Ollie, Eddie and Coco, that she regularly heads out and about with. Christine says Prestbury has become a "destination village" thanks to the wealth of things to see and do here.
"One of the benefits of this area is that we've got clients with a wealth of unused, high quality, high value designer goods that we can certify are the real deal. The village's historic pubs A couple of doors down from Christine is Ye Olde Admiral Rodney, the village's legendary 18th century coaching inn that keeps much of its historic details intact inside. The pub is run by Geoff Leigh-Ford, 76, and his ex-wife Gill, 63.
"As a village it's got everything you would want with restaurants, hotels you don’t need to go far to eat out. Yes, there are lots of celebrities around as well it is a nice clientele but I won’t drop names. Although she says plenty of famous faces have enjoyed the inn during her time there. She said: "The Coast restaurant is the place people like to go to 'see and be seen' but we are more of the place celebs come if they don’t want to be seen.The "coolest place to stay" A few yards down the road from The Legh Arms is The Bridge pub, which also has 23 hotel rooms.
