Woodford is a semi rural affluent village, which borders the rolling pastoral Cheshire countryside. Comprised largely of farms this beautiful area harnesses a feeling of being solely within a rural landscape yet retains good access to Manchester and surrounding towns with bypass and motorway links. The village is small and features only basic shops with most things found 2miles away in Bramhall.
Woodford is Home to an aerodrome that played a critical part in WW2 in the construction of Britains bomber aircraft including the Avro Lancaster. The aerodrome is now owned bay BAE systems and was until 2010 a major employer in the area and al though it remains at the heart of the village it’s future remains in doubt.
