There would be a BIBLICAL amount of riding on your doorstep from there. I live in Hazel Grove and I'm spoilt for choice when it comes to riding.
Can you enlighten me as to where I can find this bibilical amount of off road riding on the doorstep? I'm in bramhall, and as far as I can tell there's nothing of any note in the vicinity.
I think he means you can ride to Marple from there 😉
I'd look at Sale. Didsbury when I was in Manc looked nice and middle class, but I've never been somewhere so ****ed up for violence. Maybe I just went there on dodgy nights, but even the city center pubs weren't that bad.
Getting to Cheadle isn't the problem here, it's the commute for your wife as she needs her car.
Marple (I'm a resident) is indeed awful for car journeys, however get up early enough (mentioned above) and it's fine, also good in school holidays.
I've lived in Cheadle and Bramhall, now Marple and it's by far the best if you want semi rural and lots of mtbing, dog walking and general getting out into pleasant countryside. Lots of independent shops, cinema, theatre and very friendly residents who actually talk to you and say hello!
Wilmslow, Gatley, Heald Green all get grid locked now because of the A34 and their proximity to Man airport.
We miss you both very much 🙁FWIW, the best place to live in Sth Manc, and possibly the country, is Whaley Bridge. Unfortunately my wife didn't agree

The centre of Didsbury on a Saturday nights is full of scrotes from Stockport. Its horrendous!!!
I hadn't been out there for a few years, then went out there not too long back. I was a bit shocked at how bad it was. We lasted about an hour. I was minding my own business when, to quote the Kaiser Chiefs 'a man in a tracksuit attacked me'. A proper 'did you call my pint a puff?!!!' moment. But he was too pissed to make much of a go of it. He could barely stand up! I laughed at him and suggested to my mate we should probably head to Chorlton instead.
She'd managed 24 years without being a victim of crime in liverpool.
Yes, but no-one shits where they eat, now do they? 😉
M66 coming south in a morning can be awful.Nevermind that- going north afterwork is queuingtastic.
To be fair when we lived in Accrington, as long as I left the office on Spaw Street at 17;00, I could be home by 17;40..
Chorlton is a bit of a burglary hotspot http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/chorlton-named-burglary-hotspot-uk-6557629 as is a lot of the 'nice' south of the city stuff, largely because it's a great target for the less nice bits close by..
Come to Chinley: You've never leave.
Nice place ,rural,picturesque, lots of stone properties, but you won't be local until you can trace several generations back and at least somewhere in your lineage there has been some interbreeding ideally with the local livestock.

West Didsbury's iconic (once) Burton Rd now attracts Wythenshawe's finest apparently. Stood in a tiny bar there drinking a pint with a mate whilst an enormous fight flared up and surged backwards and forwards not a foot or so away from us. Could have reached out and touched them.
Once order had been restored, bouncer suggested we'd be better off going to Wythenshawe for a pint on a Saturday night 😀

Its a fine area to live, but if quality off road riding from the doorstep is a priority then the OP should pick somewhere else.
Depends on the size of your average ride I guess. Mine being in the region of 30-50+ miles gives me easy access to Hobson Moor, Etherow, Marple, Roman Lakes, New Mills, Lyme Park, Hayfield, Edale, Castleton, Hope Valley, Coombs, Goyt Valley, Macc Forest and all the cheeky bits in-between. All of which are ridden to from my doorstep. The list is goes on!
