Overview

Stockport lies 73 km north of Adelaide and 9.3 km south of Tarlee on the southern edge of the Clare & Gilbert Valleys Council area. Laid out in 1845 by Samuel Stocks junior and named after his English birthplace, the town blends historic stone homes with newer residences, offering a relaxed, rural lifestyle.

Residents benefit from local attractions such as the Charles Todd Observatory, a 7.5‑metre dome facility operated by the Astronomical Society of South Australia that reopened in 2016 after storm damage, and Glenhaven Park Camp, a YMCA adventure park off Ayliffe Bridge Road. While the Peterborough railway line that once connected Stockport to Adelaide closed in the 2000s, the Roseworthy‑Peterborough line still runs through the locality, maintaining a link to the region’s railway heritage.
