Blackley Forest
Nature preserve
👍👍 Beautiful nature spot. There are woods and water pond with birds-coots, ducks, other water birds. There are plenty of walking trails and the river.

Heaton Mersey Common
Nature preserve
😐 It used to be a lot better. Hasn't been mowed or tickled up in a while. Much like Beckham in the early 2000's, could definitely use a trim.

Blue Bell Woods
Nature preserve
🫤 This is a beautiful piece of land poorly cared for. The bluebells are in danger of being lost as boundaries are not maintained and off road bikers etc often trample through it, littering is also an issue and the land owner needs to update signage and repair fencing

Gorton Reservoir image

Gorton Reservoir
Nature preserve
😐 Dog fouling around the reservoirs is annoying nuisance. Counting 4 to 5 fresh dog poo in 500m is grossly inconsiderate and showings increasing lack of basic civility
