Trying to find a nice deciduous woodland near Manchester to potter around on Saturday morning while the leaves are all autumnal. Any suggestions?
The Edge at Alderley Edge. And book lunch in the Wizard pub, or go for tea and cake at the cafe behind it.
Heaton Park
North of Manchester, Hardcastle Craggs in Hebden.

Hadn't been there for 30 years, in fact I'd forgotten all about it. Nice one. Think I'll take the kids there soon.
brabyns park - marple - right near a train station too.
Goyt valley. Absolutely beautiful in Autumn.
Cheers everyone, loads of good suggestions.
Ask binners and hora about chorlton vale, some interesting things to see round there!

Not quite on brief but http://friendsoflongfordpark.org.uk/ is really good. A hidden gem and so close to my house 🙂

Anyone have any pub suggestions for food and a decent pint near Rivi?
