Astley Cheetham Art Gallery sits above Stalybridge Library in the town centre, a short walk from Stalybridge station 0.3 miles away. Built in 1901 as a gift to the town, it now houses the Astley Cheetham Art Collection, bequeathed in 1932 and added to over the decades, making it one of the more interesting small regional collections. It's family friendly, with a craft activity always on offer and children's books about artists to read, though not all paintings are on display at any one time. There's parking just outside, and it's reachable by car, bus or train, but note there's currently no disabled access, with entry only by stairs. For those staying nearby, there are 28 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
