Further Information and Other Local Ideas

The Stockport Walk visits the botanic gardens at Fletcher Moss Park in East Didsbury. It starts in the town centre of Stockport and follows the River Mersey for just over 4 miles. Just to the south you can also explore Vernon and Woodbank Park where you can pick up the Etherow Goyt Valley Way and enjoy waterside walks along the River Goyt.
Just to the east you can pick up the Tameside Trail and visit Debdale Park. There's some nice trails around the Gorton Reservoir and lots of water based activities to try here.
Both the Fallowfield Loop and the Manchester Cycleway pass the park. These cycling trails use an old railway line to explore the area on an off road path.
