Wooded valley gorgeous in springtime hides between these Greater Manchester suburbs
Spring has well and truly arrived - so it’s time to blow away the cobwebs and head outside for a walk. You don’t have to travel far to enjoy a stroll in nature though, as there are some incredible green spaces to explore right here in Greater Manchester.
It’s a lovely way to pass a sunny spring afternoon and immerse yourself in nature. And if you time your walk just right you may even see some blossoms and bluebells too.A great starting point for the walk is Prestwich Clough, which is a pretty wooded valley with a surprisingly rural feel to it. It stretches from St Mary's Park next to Bury New Road, all the way to Drinkwater Park in the east.
Head to the north-eastern tip of the park and at the site of the former Molyneux Brow Railway Station is a pedestrian bridge which takes you over the M60. From here you can pick up the Outwood Trail, a former railway line which has been converted into a walking and cycle route. As you walk through the park you may notice intriguing monolithic stone slabs rising from the ground. They form part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail, which extends over 33 miles through Salford, Bury and Rossendale and features more than 70 artworks.
