Top Rated Parks to Visit in Greenside

"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."

"Fletcher Moss Park is located in Didsbury and is a great place to go if you really appreciate nature. The pathways take you through some lovely scenery, making it an ideal place to take a long, relaxing walk. There’s also a café on-site for when you’re feeling a bit peckish, and you could get a little picnic going with your household/bubble."

"A walk together in the outdoors is just the thing to keep this romantic day rolling. The Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens is an organic dream with a nature trail that winds through gardens and wooded areas. Visitors should investigate the botanical gardens and the old parsonage, which is historic and adds a picturesque quality to the scene."

"The pride of Buxton is a graceful 10-hectare park opened on the Wye in 1871 and designed by the prolific Edward Milner. The park’s ornamental lakes, flowerbeds, mature trees, meandering paths and wrought iron bandstand are suffused with Victorian splendour. Children can take a trip on the miniature train and clamber through the play areas, while grownups can appreciate the metal and glass Octagonal Hall (1875) and Frank Matcham’s regal Opera House."

"Originally built by the Victorians, the Pavillion Gardens are made up of 23 acres of pleasure gardens situated right in the centre of town. Stroll past the colourful flower beds, spread your picnic blanket out under the shade of a tree, go boating on the lake, let the kids loose in the play area and take a ride on the miniature train. This is truly the perfect place to while away a sunny afternoon."

"There’s a lot to explore in the 109 acres that make up this South Manchester park. Utterly steeped in history, the park has not one, not two, but three listed buildings on its grounds, including the spectacular Wythenshawe Hall. This timber-framed Tudor structure was the home of the Tatton family for many centuries."

"You cannot have a list of the best parks in Manchester and not include Vimto Park. You may or may not know, but the beloved drink’s birthplace is this great city. Vimto Park is next to the University of Manchester and is home to a Vimto monument."

"Located right in the heart of the city, Picadilly Gardens is the tranquil antidote to an otherwise buzzing city centre. Throughout the year there are events on including music and art events. From Wednesday to Sunday there is the Street food market which is perfect for a delicious bite to eat."

"It would be wrong to say to come to this park to escape the city’s hustle and bustle. Instead, you will be able to feel the buzz of the Mancunians meeting, eating, drinking and joking. If you want to sit down on one of the many benches or seats and people watch, this is the park for you."

"The Clayton Hall Living History Museum dates back to the 15th century and you will therefore not see the global moated medieval buildings. The Museum is in the Grade II category. Volunteers have restored it back to its original look and it is now open to the public twice a month."

"People’s History Museum is a pretty good rainy day activity in Manchester. I will admit that it’s not my favourite museum in Manchester but it’s still decent. However, if you have an interest in British history and politics, I imagine you would enjoy this museum a fair amount."

"Admittedly, you have to pay for a theatre ticket if you want to watch a performance at the Royal Exchange Theatre. However, I really love the building itself, especially the pink Grand Hall, and think it’s worth a visit for the Victorian architecture alone."

"We'll all have to wait until June to get back inside the world-class Royal Exchange Theatre. The venue will open on June 23, with details to be announced at royalexchange.co.uk in due course."
