The Altrincham.co.uk verdict
A quintessential village pub that feels like a reward at the end of a good walk. Dating back to the 19th century, the Swan retains its original beams, open fires and wonderfully rustic character. Just a short stroll from Dunham Massey and close to the Bridgewater Canal, it's hard to imagine a better setting for a post-walk pint, particularly when the weather turns and there's a fire to settle beside.
