キャリントンの天然記念物・トップ5

Whitworth Park is a lovely green space that's home to the Whitworth Art Gallery, part of the University of Manchester. This 18-acre (7 ha) green space is a pleasant place to relax and you'll have the opportunity to spot several bird species. Meanwhile, the gallery boasts over 60,000 works and was founded in 1889.

Careful on the south side, quite boggy.

Tatton Park is always a great place to be.

Cadishead & Little Woolden Moss is a once-exploited peat bog that’s starting to be reclaimed by nature, thanks to staff and volunteers at Lancashire Wildlife Trust. Peat extraction in the 19th century almost destroyed this peatland and many others in the region. But in recent years, awareness has grown about the importance of these habitats. The reserve is home to common lizards and dragonflies, as well as birds such as hobby, short-eared owl, skylark, and merlin. Sphagnum mosses thrive in the reserve, providing a colourful carpet and playing an important role in the formation of new peat.

Open 24 hours a day with a variety of Picnic benches, outstanding water features, wildlife and heritage. The route links to the Trans Pennine Trail and there is a free public carpark if spaces are limited in Lymm village centre.

Melchett Mere is the smaller of the two lakes at Tatton Park, still equally as lovely though. The lake is a dedicated Site of Special Scientific Interest and RAMSAR site and is recognised as a nationally important habitat, providing refuge for many waterbirds and displaying an abundance of wildflowers and scarce plant life.

Great ride through Tatton Park. Often lots of deer to be seen, particularly in the early mornings before the crowds arrive. Watch out at weekends when there a lot of cars, walkers, prams, other cyclists and dogs around.

A nicely laid out garden including the satire if Shep the dog for those of you old enough to remember, a pond and dome nice sculptures. A great place for a picnic.
