Walking routes in Manchester

“We had the most amazing bacon & egg butties this week. The service was excellent, the staff welcoming and the pub itself is clean and cosy. We took our dog with us and she was made very welcome and enjoyed the biscuits they gave her! Would highly recommend and will be visiting to try the Sunday lunch now!”

“An iconic modern footbridge over the Manchester Ship Canal linking the Imperial War Museum North in Trafford with The Lowry theatre in Salford Quays”

“Fantastic place to visit, well off the beaten path so if you can find it it’s breath taking, just don’t give up when you get to the forest you don’t have to much further to go. If you camp be respectful and don’t have fires, there’s clearly been a lot of wild camping in the forest and up at mermaids pool. Golden rule of wild camping is leave no trace and don’t have fires! Don’t stop wild camping for the rest of us!”

“Great walk. & crazy mare cafe there also would recommend.”

“Nice place to go for a walk and to take kids and dogs. Quiet in the mornings, in general quite clean, not sure what's happening with that green water though. There are some ducks, not too many. The playground is great for kids, from small to a little bigger, plenty to do and space to run around.”

“Great area to go for a walk especially if you’re a doggy owner. Plenty of lovely views to enjoy.”

“Fantastic MTB trails and beautifully maintained park, the trails are my main reason to love this place even though they need some maintenance and TLC from the Velodrome some of the trails have been improved already with more work on the way In the spring. A great place for kids teenagers and adults to improve their techniques and skills with trails for all ability levels. YouTube Carbon_Medz for videos on Clayton Vale”

“Lovely eating place. Very clean. Great food. What really made it special was the very welcoming and friendly staff. Highly recommended!”

“Beautiful park with a lovely duck pond, a hidden wood, a great running path, and lots of open spaces and public spaces. Only thing is it can feel quite unsafe when it’s dark”

“Great park for the kids. Large play area with lots of fields for children to play football etc. Lots of squirrels to feed too.”

“Great kids playpark, the skatepark looks really good as well”

“I visited this park whilst visiting my son for the weekend. It was very clean and void of dog excrement which was a pleasant surprise. The litter bins, surfaces and play equipment were very well maintained along with the trees and flowerbeds. It was raining but plenty of families were making use of the facility which was lovely to see and we enjoyed walking around the nature trail. The toilets were closed during the time of my visit due to the pandemic and Diana reminding visitors to socially distance were very visible but subtlety positioned.”

“Lovely atmosphere and great surroundings, the beer garden is nice with climbing frames for kids to play on. The service is quick and very friendly despite the restrictions placed on them.”

“Definitely make this park a place to visit! It has something for everyone and all ages. There is a playing field for rugby and football, a skate park with a half pipe and ramps. The gardens and paths are maintained beautifully but the absolute highlight is the community hub that they have at Waterhead Park. There is a well stocked cafe with friendly staff who are eager to make you comfortable and well fed and watered. But the jewel in the crown in the "veg in the park" gardening experience where all are welcome and encouraged to lend a hand, they have raised beds, flowers and trees, vegetables and herbs and an enormous poly tunnel where potting and seeding can take place, rain or shine. Again, the volunteers and staff do their upmost to make you welcome and a keen to share their knowledge and experience with you. All in all, a wonderful park to visit. 100% recommend it to all.”

“New to the area and we decided to come in on saturday morning, the girls on the bar were so lovely and made sure we were well looked after that we decided to pop in on sunday as well and to our suprise the same two members, Jen and Chloe were there. They really made us feel welcome and made excellent drink recommendations. Will definitely be returning”

“Met with a welcoming smile by Megan on reception and Charlie in Starbucks. Pub food was great! Kayleigh, Beth and Millie's service was excellent. All so friendly and helpful. Great to see some upgrading of the hotel corridors. Thanks to everyone for another great stay.”

“Felt very happy having Wendy look after our cat. She made it really easy to arrange and we liked the updates when we were away to let us know all was ol.”

“Bev provides a professional and friendly service . Always responsive and cheerful Bev has never let me down, even at the last minute. Poppy loves her walks, Bev adores her dogs and cats. Bev is trustworthy and reliable… can’t find fault!”

“Fantastic courier company with fast acting staff and drivers for all your chilled and ambient cargo if you need a fantastic courier company stop here”

“Absolutely Love this salon . Always professional , welcoming & polite . My eyes brows previously had been damaged by a different salon . The lady here has made them more shaped & fuller . Price is great .... Over all such a great experience”

“Had a lovely view of the park from my window used to love watching people walk their dogs when I was in prison”

“Lovely place for a coffee or tea with nibbles. Courteous and welcoming!”

“Part of Alkrington Woods nature reserve and Rhodes Lodges. There are a number of paths to follow, many are pram and wheelchair accessible.”

“Lovely place, having its own separate entrance, spacious room, very comfortable bed, clean and cosy, nice and quiet location. 5min walk from the village. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. We only stayed one night as we attended a wedding but we enjoyed our stay very much.”
