The Wizards Trails

Alan Garner's talent to evoke the imagination of young children is well known. As an author local to Alderley Edge he has certainly brought the area a great deal of national attention from young adults all over the country, all eager to tread in the footsteps of Colin and Susan, the leading cast of the books.

Alderley Edge distinguishes itself from the lore of myths and legends associated with other places in England, as anyone visiting The Edge will tell you. It is quite an easy task to imagine the creature's of Garner's imagination as living here. The Edge is riddled with caves, mines, cliffs, bogs, springs, fogs, and other such things. The trees hold a beauty and mystery all of their own, and each season sees them in a new and evocative way.
