Park
👍👍 Great place for a walk in amongst beautiful surroundings. The little cafe offers a selection of teas, coffees and other soft drinks and has plenty of seating. I visited on a Saturday and the car park closed at 16:00, and there is also free parking available on the roadside.

Gisburn Forest and Stocks - Forestry England
National forest
👍👍 What an amazing walk. Going from the car park and walking north, you come out of the forest and go straight into fields of sheep and cows. It’s stunningly beautiful and all so photogenic. We walked all the way around Stocks Reservoir on the 8 mile circular route which took us roughly 4 hours with p...

Snake Woodland- Forestry England
National forest
👍👍 For those who enjoy nature it is the ideal place, rivers, mountains, forests full of beauty and biodiversity, we chose a trail in the AllTrails app, we downloaded the map and that way we navigated using the gps even without a cell phone signal, the trails are not very well marked and it was essentia...

😠 Although dog friendly they have a beautiful wood to walk around. Although there’s a sign to pick up after your dog most of the dog walkers there are ignorant and don’t pick up after their dogs !

👍👍 Amazing trails for all abilities. Just be careful of the rocks in the wet as I found out there quite slippery and hurt when you fall off 🤣 Grab a local if you can to show you around and you'll have a great time 👌

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. However if you want to park your car you need look for some alternatives nearby. This place is located between the streets and quite close to Heaton Par...

Thieves Wood

👍👍 Great places to take your doggies out. There are endless little trails to discover, you can take them lots of times and still not walk all of them. The big trails double up as bridleways so please be careful walking your doggies on them especially if they are not good around horses. We park on one o...

Stang Forest
National forest
👍👍 Stang Forest has two small car parks, bonus is that parking is free. I chose the higher car park to explore the forest and the hills above, but plenty of paths throughout the forest to choose from, but do take a map if new to the area to ensure you find your way back. There is also extensive forestr...
