We shine a light on some amazing places which are right on our doorstep
Among Greater Manchester’s more well-known attractions are dozens of hidden gems which are waiting to be discovered. There are woodland walks with magical waterfalls and beautifully-designed gardens all on our doorstep, but they’re often only known to those who live locally.
Despite its modest size it features several ‘rooms’ to explore, including a fuschia garden, a mini-arboretum and a Japanese garden. In the warmer months a 70ft long wisteria arch comes into bloom, creating a shady tunnel to pass through. In front of the railway bridge in the Castlefield Urban Heritage Park is a reconstruction of the roman fort Mamucium, giving you a hint of what the area would have looked like nearly 2,000 years ago. You can still see some of the original stone foundations beside the reconstruction.
The nature reserve follows the River Spodden as it weaves its way through the woods. Along the way you’ll spot tiny stone bridges and several waterfalls. There’s a small pond overlooked with towering trees, a 25m sunken garden and a Peace Garden which features seasonal flowers. It’s such a scenic spot that people even go there for wedding photos.
