ロスザーンの湖・トップ14

A very pleasant 5 miles.

Careful on the south side, quite boggy.

If you go down to the sunken garden between Sextons and the flower shop, you'll see the force of the water from the lower dam into Slitten Brook, and it flows into the Bridgewater canal

Tatton Park is always a great place to be.

Chorlton Water Park is a nature reserve that provides an essential ecosystem for local wildlife. The reserve is centred around a lake beside the River Mersey and has idyllic grasslands to explore. Open to walkers, cyclists, horse riders and anglers, it’s a green oasis on the outskirts of Manchester.

Can get quite busy

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.
