Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Eccles

"Named after Mr. Fletcher Moss (who donated the park’s grounds to the city), these Botanical Gardens are part plant showcase, part wildlife habitat, and part recreational facility. The plant life here is renowned for its beauty, and contains several unusual varieties. Some of the older specimens have grown there since the foundation of the park a full century ago."

"Fletcher Moss Park is a wide network of paths around the area around the Gardens, through Stenner Woods, round Millgate Fields, and along the river Mersey. Much of the area is a Local Nature reserve and there is a variety of wildlife to see and vistas to enjoy. At first, finding your way around can be a little confusing, and a map of the area might help."

"The name 'Erst' is an archaic word meaning 'formerly' or 'long ago', which has guided this restaurant's choice of wine and beer, and use of fire for cooking. Despite its trendy location, and a menu that's restrained to the point of looking spartan, Erst is not another shrine to minimalism but a warm, casual place with breathing space for an open bar and a host of small tables. Dishes from the grill include naturally leavened flat breads made in house and served with whipped lardo (cured pork fat); and grilled whole mackerel with tomato and monk's beard (a green plant that looks like chives but tastes more like spinach) with wild garlic aioli."

"Once a cradle of the Industrial Revolution, the Ancoats area has been regenerated and is now a hotbed of foodie activity covering all bases, from the high-wire thrills of Michelin-starred Mana to the tiny, tasty Venezuelan takeaway Hola Hola. At Erst, a spin-off of neighbouring bakery-cafe Trove, the stripped-back space blends post-industrial edges with modish Scandi design. Across plates of grilled pork collar with clams and brined kohlrabi tops, crispy potatoes with onion creme fraiche or a simple flatbread with whipped lardo, intense flavour is coaxed from a minimum of components."

"Romance needn't mean roses and candlelight - good food, good wine and good company are the only ingredients you need, and you'll find all of that at Erst. The stark but stylish space is warmed by the open-fire cooking behind the open kitchen, producing dishes designed for sharing: think salt cod with clementine, bergamot, turnip and chilli; venison carpaccio with salted ricotta and capers; and grilled flatbread with gremolata. The wine list here is one of the best you'll find in the city, with a focus on natural and low-intervention bottles."
