Charlesworth

Charlesworth is on the A626 between Glossop and Marple. The Church of the Immaculate Conception is about 1km north west of the village, on Long Lane, approaching Broadbottom. Long Lane is not well signposted, but apart from estate roads it is the only road heading north west out of the village. Town Lane leaves the main road through the village directly opposite its junction with Long Lane.
