Nature lover in Stockport

“Really good place to visit with free parking. We took 2 children age 5 and 8 with bikes, spent time looking at the nature reserve then took a long ride along the old railway track. Very enjoyable visit and we plan to go back or to different sections of Middlewood Way.”

“Great for walks. You can pretend you're on your hols for a while.”

“Best burgers I have had. Food arrived piping hot, great service and the food is just amazing, highly recommend to anyone!”

“I love this veggie breakfast at the most friendly and down to earth local cafe.”

“Best dog groomers I've been to, lovely staff, really good cut and give treats/extras each time we go. Our Ralphy loves it there. Decent price”

“Visited 25/10/2022, very popular location and lots of parking but fills up fast too. Great staff at the Timber Yard cafe, very helpful and getting requests done with ease for food and drink. Lots of walks to be done, family friendly and buggy friendly. Also steep incline to house from car park so there is a mini bus you can use to get you up to top with ease if you need it. The grounds are very scenic and worth a visit, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“A lovely place for a walk. Can get busy at weekends and when the sun is out but definitely worth a visit. There is ample parking, toilets and a cafe. There is also a little garden centre which also sells teas, coffees and ice creams. Beutiful country side right on our doorstep.”

“A very nice place to be and spend some time with nature. A very nice bike ride also if you're a rider or you can just walk the path from Marple memorial park and the locks. A magnificent structure that is highly recommended to visit. You can also see the train tracks behind it. You can take the stairs down and see the enormous build that is a very awesome sight to see.”

“Love the place, can't wait to go back in Summer. Nice place to go with kids and walk your dog”

“lovely park to visit all year round, even better in autumn with the falling leaves”

“A great walk and good opportunity to let your dog have a paddle in the river without getting to muddy.”

“Excellent, the cleanliness of the whole place is second to none, you know your on to a good thing with nice clean fresh menus. Staff really attentive and polite. We had five different meals and all were very good, we're looking forward to going back. Would definitely recommend. Well done and thank you.”

“Lovely little cafe, had a walk in the park with my family then found the café very friendly and warm, staff are many adults with learning difficulties which was so lovely as my youngest son has Downs syndrome. Food was good and the coffee was hot, my son enjoyed the freely available paper and pencils”

“Very nice local place but the local community need to value this beautiful place it’s an asset for Stockport Council please look-after and be respectful to the visitors”

“Our recent visit was just as good as the last with an added kiosk to buy a coffee too :) my son (3) loves the skate park with his scooter too.”

“Me and my son visited this lovely place. We dined in, we came for dinner, it was lovely. They have no tracksuit policy we didn't know of as we had come from Mansfied, Nottinghamshire to Manchester for a show at O2 Victoria Warehouse. My son had come in Moncler X Palm Angels tracksuit and was asked not to go in but luckily we stayed at a hotel nearby, only 5mins walk, so he went back and got changed to something else. The food was decent, it's lovely and cosy inside with great interior!”

“Nice little cafe with a good selection of baguettes, sandwiches, sausage rolls, chips and gravy. Nice cakes and hit dri js too. Very convenient for the lake.”

“Lovely quiet place for a walk, nice little cafe and tea rooms. Worth a visit. Lots of history dotted about.”

“great for walking .lots of paths . we go up to lyme park for spot of lunch .”

“Lovely store with a wide range of quality, beautiful dog accessories. Handmade so you know you're not buying from a mass factory from abroad. So helpful in finding the right fit and you can tell it's a labour of love. Couldn't reccomend highly enough.”

“Beautiful and unusual seasonal flowers. Great quality and variety in the bunches and organic and sustainable too. All round a fantastic place to buy your flowers.”

“Our cubs scouts really enjoyed the animal roadshow. Andrea was very knowledgeable and managed to keep them engaged the whole time. The really enjoyed meeting all the animals and learning how to care for them.and what they eat.”

“I had my son's 5th birthday party here and he loved it. It's a great experience for children to meet different animals. My son particularly enjoyed walking the Alpaca. It's a party that is different from the regular soft play centres and you also support a local not for profit organisation.”

“A fantastic view across Stockport and you can even see The Cage at Lyme Park National Trust!”

“Massage and pedicure - lovely staff and amazing experience”
