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

"With a working farm, grand mansion, tea room, gardens and woodlands to explore, Temple Newsam is worth the journey out of the city centre (around 20 minutes by car) for a scenic day out. Home Farm gives you the chance to meet the estates pigs, sheep, cattle, goats and ducks, while the Tudor-Jacobean mansion was the birthplace of notorious Lord Darnley, the husband of Mary Queen of Scots. The stately home has been restored, with rooms filled with decorative art and the secrets of past residents."

"Landscaped by Capability Brown, Temple Newsam has 1,500 acres of grounds for you to explore, with stunning vistas and scenic walks. The Menagerie Ponds are one of the highlights. Each has a different personality – the first is surrounded by parkland, the second by perennials and the third by the bamboo garden."

"Adventurous couples can tackle the tree tops at Temple Newsam. Be bold and go for the tree top challenge – the hardest Go Ape course. Your unbreakable love and unwavering support (did we just say that?) will get you through once you’re 15 meters above the ground."

"A Grade-II listed site, the beautiful 19-acre Sheffield Botanical Gardens were established in 1836 and showcase more than 5,000 species of plants. This is a lovely spot for a stroll, especially in the spring and summer, when many of the plants are in full bloom. Highlights include the glasshouses, also Grade II-listed, with temperate plants from Australia, Asia, and South Africa; the Victorian Garden; and the Four Seasons Garden, which is colorful at any time of year."

"A glass pavilion glitters under the sun, as does the emerald grass beneath your toes. As you look through the Botanical Garden’s leafy arch, you’ll see ancient trees and flowering bushes spread out. It’s ideal for some tranquil time spent outdoors."

"Endcliffe Park is a beautiful park with plenty of trails, woods, brook, weirs, ponds, waterfalls, and a brilliant café. Additional facilities include a play area for children, making Endcliffe Park the ideal family friendly area. Take a long stroll, soak up the sun and take pictures of the beautiful scenery."

"Just down the road from the aforementioned Botanical Gardens,is Endcliffe Park. Located on Hunters Bar roundabout and the start of the Sheffield Walk Endcliffe Park has it all. There is a small amount of parking nearby, and plenty of street parking."

"Founded in 1917, this large green space - part botanical garden and part wildlife habitat - is an engaging contrast to the busy city center. There are numerous walking trails on the property, as well as regular guided "health" walks. Popular things to do here include enjoying a stroll or picnic, or opting for more strenuous activities, such as tennis, rugby, or football."

"Kinder Scout is the highest point in the Peak District and is, therefore, a popular route for hikers. The walk from Edale goes up Jacob’s Ladder towards some incredible rock formations and, of course, the Kinder Low trig point. It is easy to see why it is one of the best Peak District walks because it is wild, unspoilt and a lot of fun to scramble and climb."

"Edale Village Hall Car Park - 10 minute drive from Losehill House. As the tallest peak in the Peak District, the views from the top of Kinder Scout are wide-reaching and truly beautiful. On a clear day, the city of Manchester can be seen from the plateau, as well as the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales."

"Prestwich Forest Park consists of four smaller parks which make up 200 acres of woodlands: Philips Park, Drinkwater Park, Waterdale, and Prestwich. These parks can be heavily wooded (particularly Drinkwater), so it’s a beautiful place to spend a day away from the noise of town. Exploring the woods can be an enlightening experience, so long as you take care while wandering amongst the broad-leaved trees."

"This long-established cycling-themed cafe has enjoyed strong positioning on Abbeydale Road for some time. It was brought under control by new owners in recent years and has since doubled as a restaurant throughout the day and in the evening. The light interior is great for a spot of cake, of which there is always plenty of choice from the great homemade range on offer."

"A place to sit back and allow yourself to become absorbed into the cycling world. Amici and Bici offer a solution for everyone; whether you’re simply passing and need your coffee fix, or you’ve just finished punishing yourself in the Peak and require some much needed energy to get you up that last hill to home.

"Breakfast, brunch and lunch, and a delicious cup of coffee to go alongside it, what more could you want?. From open bagels to delicious pancake stacks, this is the perfect place to come for a taste of Brooklyn. Located in the heart of the Northern Quarter and serving only locally roasted coffee, this is definitely one to try."

"19 Cafe Bar, 19 Lever St, Manchester, M1 1BY - Visit now. 19 Cafe Bar is located near the bus stops off the main Northern Quarter drag, instantly making it appealing because: cheaper and less pretentious. We’re big fans of their Breakfast Club offer and Brunch Cocktails."
