Blow away the cobwebs with a stroll through this country park, which feels a world away from its urban surroundings
Even though it’s the middle of winter, it doesn’t mean you can't get out into the fresh air and enjoy a walk. Going for a stroll when the weather is chilly can blow away the cobwebs, clear your mind and leave you feeling energised.
Reddish Vale Country Park is a 161 hectare park in Stockport, only a stone’s throw away from the town centre. The sheer size of the park and its range of features - grassy meadows, ponds and wooded areas - means you feel a world away from the urban areas which surround it.It is dominated by an impressive, 16-arch viaduct which was built in 1875 to carry the Hope Valley Line over the Tame Valley.
Today you can still see remnants of the park’s industrial past, from former mill ponds to a stunning weir located at the southern end of the park. The land has now been transformed into a haven for wildlife.
