Much of Marple s 23,000 population considers the area to be a town in its own right rather than part of Stockport. With canal towpaths and ready access to the surrounding hills it is at the more rural end of the borough. As well as Marple Hall High School the area also has Cheadle and Marple Sixth Form and College for further education. There is also a cinema, one of Stockport s better-used shopping precincts and a large number of restaurants.
