We have been reading a local classic adventure book called The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. It is set in Cheshire (the next shire to our west), and tells of the adventures of a brother and sister and their adventures in a place called Alderley Edge. The have dealings with dwarfs and little goblins called svarts and a mean ol' shapeshifter named Selina Place. It's all very Lord of the Rings, really, but a great story unto itself. The tale is built around a legend in the area about a wizard that lives in a secret tunnel in The Edge with an army of sleeping warriors. There is a map in the book, and we saw the other day that Alderley Edge is a real place, so we decided to see if The Edge itself was a real place.
Our pictures can pretty much tell the story from there...
