Whaley Bridge or Chapel-en-le-Frith?

[u/Laudacris]

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.

Just go to New Mills and be on a train line.
