Rainow Cheshire Map

About Rainow

Rainow breathes the quietude of Cheshire's rolling countryside, a scatter of stone and slate against the ever-shifting canvas of the sky. It lies 2.2 km south-east of Bollington (from Bollington: bearing 141°T, OS grid SJ 950 760), and is situated north-north-east of Brookhouse village. The village, with its modest cluster of houses, seems to embrace the gentle slopes that lead towards the Pennine foothills, where the land begins to open into broader vistas. A palpable sense of quiet industry still lingers in the air, a whisper of the textile mills that once hummed with activity, their chimneys now softened by time and moss. The local church, St. Stephen's, stands as a sturdy sentinel, its stone weathered by countless seasons, its spire a modest point against the vast expanse of the heavens. Even on a grey day, the light here can possess a peculiar clarity, catching the damp sheen on the stone walls and illuminating the deep greens of the surrounding fields.
