    Too many dogs off their leads. A danger to children, runners and cyclists.

    Wooded area, where all routes seem to lead to the Mersey.

    This is a beautiful slice of nature. Unfortunately over the years it's been taken over by dog walkers. Most of the dogs are off their leads and the owners just let them run around, approach children and generally poo anywhere. Personally I don't feel safe because I don't know the owners or the temperament of their dogs, so I don't go anymore.

    I had cycled around the area on some guided rides. This time I cycled there on my own. It's a nice green space, quite quiet. Along with the water parks at Sale and Chorlton it's a good nature reserve.

    Lovely place for a walk. There are paths that take you towards Sale Water Park, Chorlton Water Park and so on. Brilliant for dog walkers and there are playing fields for football or just to relax. Beautiful scenery, especially near the River Mersey. Free Parking.

    Really nice place for a walk, surprising amount going on around the nearby lake from open water swimming, to kayaking, to jet skis zipping about at the end of the lake. Great place for a dog walk and with a few nearby cafes and a pub to boot!

  • 5/5 Amy E. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to have a walk and blow away the cobwebs. Lots of space which is good, when itโ€™s busy on the weekend it doesnโ€™t feel too crowded. We just made the mistake of walking down one side of the river with the intention to cross back over and walk back. It took us about 40 minutes before we came across another bridge so ended up having a better walk than expected :D

    Went for a walk on a cold day so I'm sure there are better times to go. The weather did mean it was peaceful and that's one of the main draws to the reserve. It's a very pleasant walk with plenty of dog walkers around and a nice view over Sale Water Park if you go a little further round.

    I love the variety of this place; woodland walks, beautiful meadows, riverbank paths that weave and bend with great views.

  • 4/5 harman k. 8 months ago on Google
    Really quiet and beautiful place for a walk. I went on a weekday and it was almost empty just a few dog walkers or people jogging. There is convenient car parking right in the middle which is a bonus as you wonโ€™t have to walk a lot from outside roads. The views and scenery is beautiful but I do recommend adequate clothing as there were a lot of mud poodles around.

    Great place to visit. Lovely walks, whether along the river or through the woods. Park in the car park at TreeTops Cafe (free) and enjoy a coffee when you've finished your walk.

  • 5/5 Cristina D. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to go for a walk, picnic. Some people also use the fields to have BBQs or fires but Iโ€™m unsure as to whether thatโ€™s legal but if it is it seems like a great idea

    An oasis within the M60. You can happily enjoy a walk by the river whilst being a stone's throw from Chorlton or Sale.
