The Golden Triangle is an area of affluent, leafy towns and villages in Cheshire such as Alderley Edge and Mottram St. Andrew. The three points of the triangle are subject of local debate, but are generally considered to be Wilmslow, Knutsford, and Prestbury. The area is noted for its expensive houses, pleasant countryside, famous footballers, celebrities, and entrepreneurs.[1]
Five of the ten most expensive roads in the North West have been indicated in this area [2] with Withinlee Road in Prestbury said to be the most expensive street in the North of England- with prices on average at £1.5 million.[3]
The area and its rich businessmen were fictionalised in the drama series, Goldplated.[4]
