Discover Altrincham

Altrincham is a town in Greater Manchester in the northwest of England. It was a small market town until the 18th century, then industrialised with the coming of the Bridgewater Canal and later the railway. Altrincham was historically in Cheshire, but in 1974 was re-assigned into the new entity of Greater Manchester, and became a commuter town for the big city. The main reason to visit is Dunham Massey Hall, and Tatton Hall a few miles south. The TIC has closed but Altrincham Unlimited is an online listings magazine, including parking options. The town newspaper is Altrincham Today.
