Google Maps - search for Chorlton Water Park. 

A really lovely water park, Chorlton is a 170 acres of local nature reserve, woodland and wildflower meadows and is open to anglers, (Nordic) walkers, horse riders, bikers (as the Transpennine Trail runs through it) and links with lots of other lovely green spaces such as Chorlton Ees, Sale Water Park and the River Mersey. It also links with Kenworthy Woods which has lots of trails and a hidden community orchard in its midst and the River Mersey paths. 

We will be walking on both grass and paths so make sure you’re wearing supportive shoes/trainers with a good tread that you are happy to get dirty and comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather. Paws will be required (on and off on different terrains). Hats, sunscreen and insect repellent will also be required when the weather dictates it!
