Park in Manchester

“It's a fantastic park with something for everyone! The area is huge and well-maintained. There's a lovely playground for children, picnic areas with barbecue facilities for families, and clean toilets that are free to use. Parking is reasonably priced—£1.50 for 2 hours and £2.50 for a longer stay. One of the highlights is the large lake with beautiful views, perfect for a relaxing walk or just enjoying nature. Highly recommended for a day out with family or friends”

“Spent an afternoon with a good friend here. The weather was gorgeous which just added to a marvellous day all round. We started with a breakfast in the stable cafe, and a cake to take away. The house itself is breathtaking. The solar is probably up there with the best rooms I've ever visited in a historic house setting. The guide outside the room was delightfully chatty, friendly and informative. Made us feel so welcome. It was great to see some of the conservation set up that they have on the go. We finished with a brisk walk around the grounds to finish the day.”

“Shan was super helpful today and went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything. He took the time to explain all of our options (especially with care plan and product maintenance) and answered every question with patience and clarity. Friendly attitude made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We really appreciated the time he put into helping us place our order.”

“Mayfield Park is a unique little gem in Manchester!! It’s not very big, but it offers lovely seating areas and is great for a relaxing walk. Especially beautiful around sunset when the lighting in the park comes on and adds a cozy vibe. There are quite a lot of security cameras around, which might bother some. Other than that it’s Manchester’s most beautiful park!!!”

“Beautiful place. Good parking, lovely coffee and fantastic volunteers. So much scenery, very peaceful and tranquil.”

“An internationally accessible haven of tranquility providing escape from the city. Dunham Massey is a brilliant green area south of Manchester, well conectes to Manchester airport. A range of flora and fauna make for a wonderful nature trail and forage, or a humble walk passively absorbing the natural landscape including forested areas and open pastures featuring abundant wildlife. On our visit most of the amenities were closed due to a met office weather warning, but this didn’t stop us exploring the vast grounds in peace. They often talk about calm before the storm, but rarely the calm during the storm- which is what we experienced due to the lack of fair weather crowds. I can imagine on more typical days tje cafes and visitors centre complete this experience with a warm drink or a hot soup after a brisk autumn stroll. I look forward to experiencing these on a future visit.”

“We had a great time here, we stayed in Cabin 1 and it was so peaceful. We had our 7 month old to think about and this worked well as we could have dinner and relax in the evening and she could sleep in the cot in the bedroom and we wouldn't disturb here like we would in a hotel in one room. Staff were lovely and friendly and the site was clean. Hot tub was great to chill in the sunshine. Lovely walks around Dovestone Reservoir just a stones throw away. Have already recommended to family and would absolutely recommend again particularly for young families who like lots of countryside walks and exploring the local area.”

“Amazing I was in yesterday gorgeous dental practice so lovely and really helped me out .....they do all my families teeth ...even my grandson off 9 months joins today all staff Amazing xxxxx especially Holly reception very helpful always smiling.”

“Great place, good opening times, parking OK, staff are friendly, good prices and quality.”

“I had naked burrito it was good in taste all ingredients were fresh.”

“Really pleased with the treatment my cat Ares received yesterday. He needed his booster and flea/worming and the vet we saw (I didn't catch her name unfortunately) was extremely kind and gentle with him. She was patient with me too and checked him over when I mentioned a couple of other things I was concerned with. Cost of treatment seems reasonable to previous vets we've visited. The lady on reception was really friendly too. Parking round the rear of the building. Lastly, they have a candle in the reception which is lit if an owner is having having an appointment to have their pet put to sleep, and request soft voices and respect if this is the case. I've never seen this before in vets and thought it was a lovely idea.”

“I left my partners car here while we went on holiday. Brilliant communication from the garage staff who uncovered a serious problem with the suspension, which wasn’t picked up by her local garage. The car drives as it should and, more importantly, it’s safe for the kids to be in. Thanks Park Street Motors.. as usual, no nonsense and well priced.”

“Great place for my course.get food in there.nice.”

“Great park with stunning waterfalls. In a mile circular walk you see a variety of different waterfalls, plus a few other features including a disused weather station, standing stone, and war memorial. Waterfalls are truly well worth seeing. Bit hilly, but decent paths. There's plenty of street parking outside the park, and a kids playground too. Lovely pond to walk round too.”

“Plenty of parking at a reasonable cost. Great fun for adults, teenagers, children and toddlers! Scenic views, a small farm with helpful animals handlers who are happy to answer questions, well-kept grounds, boat rides, decent-sized play areas for children of all ages, a cafe, a resident ice cream van and charcoal pizza options. A good place to enjoy the great outdoors - especially on a sunny day!”

“A beautiful park with lots of easy walks around a gorgeous lake ,there is a large car park and nice clean toilets. A great little cafe and an ice cream van in the summer. A great place to visit all year round.”

“Daisy Nook is a lovely countryside escape tucked away in Oldham, just outside the city buzz of Manchester. It offers a peaceful mix of woodlands, canals, walking trails, and open green spaces — perfect for a quiet stroll, family outing, or even a bit of photography. The paths are well-maintained, and there’s a calm, relaxed atmosphere all around. There’s also a small café near the entrance for a coffee or snack after a walk. A great spot to reconnect with nature without going too far from town.”

“Nestled just outside the bustling city centre of South Manchester, the beautifully maintained Victorian public park is a true gem. Its picturesque landscapes and historic charm make it an ideal spot for both relaxation and recreation. The park is a vibrant hub of community activity, hosting a variety of events throughout the year. From lively fun fairs to bustling car boot sales, there's always something happening here. The spacious lawns provide plenty of room for cricket matches and football games, drawing in teams and families alike. Moreover, seminars at Chorlton Lodge offer a unique opportunity for local residents to engage in educational and cultural discussions. Walking through the park, you'll appreciate the well-kept pathways and lush greenery that pay homage to its Victorian roots. It's the perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll, a picnic with friends, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this park is a must-see destination that reflects the spirit of South Manchester. Highly recommended for anyone looking to connect with the community or enjoy a day out in a charming setting.”

“Nice area for walk, picnic, and get together. Views are awesome, 3 tracks for walk, including one middle of the lake. One side lake and one side river. Nice view of mountains and forest from parking side of lake. Lot of sitting places. Parking available 0.9 £ per hour, need cash or through App. Need some maintenance and cleaning.”

“Nice for dogs and strolling around. Needs a cafe and public toilets”

“Spent a nice sunny Sunday morning here and had a really good time. Our dog was absolutely enjoying the space! We unfortunately didn't find an accessible path down to the river so that was a disappointment, but I'm hoping to be able to go down to the river the next time around. Definitely recommend a visit to the park. It's very well kept and serene.”

“Kids play area, picnic area with little beach view, dog friendly, lots of walk way, paid parking you can check online for price.”

“Brilliant park, so much to offer. Crazy golf, tennis courts, bowling green, children's play area, nice gardens, train ride, toilet facility and shop. Lots of benches around to sit. Great for dogs, nice stroll or run.”

“Peel Park was the first public park in the United Kingdom to be officially opened, with all funds raised from public subscription. It was created in 1846 and was free to use, connecting together all Salford residents .”

“A great location for a family walk. There's a free car park and small visitor centre/cafe. We did a full loop around the water before playing at the park. There were horses and donkeys in the field next to the car park and the kids enjoyed going up to the fence to say hello.”

“Very great experience. Alexandra park is very family friendly and the air is also very clean. There are hiking paths. Car park. A cafe for quick bites with lots of attractions for both adults and kids.”
