Nestled away in the Cheshire countryside are three quaint villages that are inhabited by Celebrities, entrepreneurs and some of the best footballers in the world. The villages of Alderley Edge, Prestbury and Wilmslow form the exclusive ‘golden triangle’ which has become synonymous with the lifestyles of the footballing elite.
Also known as footballers belt, the area features luxurious homes, stunning countryside scenery and easy access to the clubs the players represent. In this article, we will explore what makes this area so attractive to these high-profile players, delve into the history of the Golden Triangle, and take a closer look at some of the famous footballers who call it their home.

why do players choose the golden triangle?
The golden triangle boasts some of the most luxurious and exclusive properties in the country, with spacious mansions, private estates and high-end amenities such as swimming pools, tennis courts and home theatres. These lavish homes provide the perfect setting for players to relax and unwind away from the pressures of the football pitch.
Secondly, the area offers a high degree of privacy and security, which is essential for players who attract a lot of media attention. Many of the properties in the Golden Triangle are set back from the road and surrounded by trees or hedges, providing a sense of seclusion and privacy. In addition to this, some players opt to hire security for an added layer of privacy- Cristiano Ronaldo had 6 security guards patrolling his home!
Thirdly, the location of the Golden Triangle is ideal for Premier League players, as it provides easy access to their clubs’ training grounds and stadiums. The area is situated between Manchester and Liverpool, making it a convenient base for players to commute to and from their games and training sessions.
Finally, the Golden Triangle is renowned for its beautiful countryside and picturesque villages, which offer a peaceful and tranquil setting for players and their families. The area is also home to excellent schools, world-class restaurants and boutique shops, providing everything that players and their families need for a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle.
