5/5 Natasha N. 2 years ago on Google
I
found
this
place
on
a
google
search
and
was
excited
to
explore
with
my
baby.
I
was
not
disappointed.
There
are
numerous
places
to
park
on
the
road
side
(free).
The
forest
comprises
of
multiple
paths
going
in
different
directions
and
you
will
find
bridges,
walkways,
ponds,
streams
and
ample
benches.
There
is
a
lake
near
the
Aviary
with
swans,
ducks
&
Canadian
geese.
Many
of
the
pathways
are
tarmac
or
flattened
and
easy
to
walk
along.
Some
are
pram
friendly
but
others
may
not
be,
depending
on
the
weather.
There
is
a
park
within
the
forest
for
children
and
the
surrounding
trees
should
provide
some
cover
from
sun
or
rain.
The
loopline
towards
Roe
Green
(approx.
1km)
could
take
you
as
far
as
Walkden.
The
opposite
way
will
take
you
to
Monton
(1.8km).
This
is
a
wide
tarmac
walkway,
suitable
for
prams,
dogs
and
bikes.
I
wouldn't
say
wheelchairs,
as
I
saw
steps
at
Monton
and
various
other
spots
that
lead
onto
the
loopline.
I
followed
a
pathway
down
from
the
Monton
loopline
which
took
me
to
Alder
Forest
and
walked
back
up
to
the
loopline,
for
a
change
of
scenery.
There
are
a
few
exits
from
the
forest
that
lead
onto
the
main
road,
where
the
green
monument
is,
The
Delph
restaurant,
the
dry
docks
and
the
Horsebox
Coffee
spot.
It's
a
nice
walk
along
the
canal
with
many
beautiful
old
century
homes.
I
recommend
the
Horsebox,
as
the
service
is
very
friendly,
accepts
card,
offers
dairy
free
milk
and
vegan
treats.
Situated
on
one
side
of
the
canal
bridge
and
very
picturesque
scenery.
The
Delph
offers
coffee,
although
they
use
an
automated
machine
so
it
didn't
taste
good
to
me.
