Congleton Road runs from Alderley Edge to the A34 near Monk's Heath through Nether Alderley. Until the opening of the Alderley Edge bypass in November 2010, this road was part of the A34.
The road runs past the medieval Alderley Cross, which stands at the junction of Congleton Road, Welsh Row & Artists Lane, and also Nether Alderley Mill, a 15th century flour mill now run by the National Trust.
