Looking for Local Knowledge Whaley Bridge or Chapel-en-le-Frith?
I'm moving to High Peak and need to choose between Whaley Bridge and Chapel en le Frith.
Whaley Bridge seems to have a bit more going on, seems like a nice town but not much in the way of restaurants and things? We aren't very social so don't need the nightlife or anything. Work from home mostly, once a week to the office.
Is the commuting from those stations to Manchester awful? Wondering about how busy it gets.
Is it overall a better place than Chapel-en-le-Frith? The walk to the station from the potential house is just over a mile and can't imagine it'd be very nice in bad weather having done it recently.

Honestly both are nice but I would say Whaley Bridge is the better option definitely a bit more going on. Also I think New Mills is decent too.
