    Just a gorgeous spot in the middle of the woods. Beautiful house on the far bank and good for bird life. Paths mainly along one side and the top end with a jetty offering some good close ups to the ducks and swans. Really good for kids and wildlife alike.

    Great short walk - about an hour or two - that brings you through a wood. If you like flat and a walk that families and older people could do, it is really worth the travel to get to.

    It's lovely place to go for a long walk, you can get in there walking all the way from Roe Green Loopline, there are nice woodland paths (just be careful after raining days it can be really muddy aroud there) view is very pleasant and you can learn some history obout Duke and why he build that place. Its perfect for mountain bikes, not the best for hybrids or road bikes. Anyway is worth seeing. Only one thing is annoying, when people feed ducks and birds with bread instead of seeds (that is harmful for birds!)

    Lovely walk as part of the Worsley Village Circular. It is quite calm, good for children, dogs and anyone who wants some air! The building looks beautiful from across the water. There is a play park too.

    Ok to walk through as part of Worsley woods stroll. Nothing there otherwise. Feed ducks, maybe some birdwatching. If you want an ice cream then go back across the main road to shops near the Bridgewater pub.

    Nestled amidst the woods, this stunning spot boasts a beautiful house on the far bank and abundant birdlife. It captivates children and nature lovers with its scenic paths, leading to a jetty for intimate encounters with ducks and swans. While lacking benches and bins, the place offers educational boards, delightful views, and ample wildlife to observe and feed. Note: No nearby toilets. A charming destination for all to enjoy.

    Beautiful walk and lots of wildlife to be seen. Hard to believe it's in the city if Salford because it could be any where. Beautiful, secluded and peaceful with information boards dotted about explaining the landscape.
