The Swan with Two Nicks is a low-beamed country pub at Little Bollington, a short stroll from the deer park at Dunham Massey and the Bridgewater Canal. There’s been an inn on the spot since at least the 1740s, and it’s a popular refuelling stop for walkers and cyclists off the towpath. Hale station is about 4km to the east.
