Top 10 Best Nature reserves uk in Stockport

“This is a beautiful peaceful place to walk through..”

“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.”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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

“Great food and friendly staff. Was busy on new years day yet food and drinks were fast and service was excellent. Kids love the cinema room and popcorn. An enjoyable experience for all. Highly recommended”

“Lovely country park, nice walk around the duck ponds and up to the waterfall, the forest is lovely to explore too. Parking ok, it gets busy at weekends and school holidays but we usually always manage to park up, there are toilets on both ends of the park which is handy with small kids, the cafe is nice too, reasonably priced and good selection. We usually buy duck food from the cafe to feed the ducks with.”

“A wonderful park...BMX track which we enjoyed watching people use, different areas of the park including an area with sandpit, swings, slides, climbing apparatus, a zip line that was unfortunately broken, a small pond with ducks and a fantastic interactive game with silver poles that had built in touch screen games such as 2 people one is red one is blue and when your colour lights up on pole you hit it to turn it off - never seen before and it was a huge hit!!”

“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!”

“Very clean Park. Follow me for more adventures on ' 2 Muslim night riders'”

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

“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!”
