A cracking little walk out with grandaughter. We both enjoyed walking around the ponds, looking for wildlife. Shame we didn't have our cameras with us. Some very unexpected wildlife spotted, resulting in another visit being planned.
But seriously paying it forward to the cafe as they really made her trip out with a special treat. ;) #hiking #cycling #running #fishing #playarea #photography #painting and loads more.

Great park in amongst urban existence.
We walked it late 9 pm at the end of May and there were a few teenagers hanging around at 10 in the way out so maybe not for the faint hearted at that time but it was a lovely change from the previous 4 days. A great park for a run.

Excellent park to walk hike or to rid bicycle. It is good one for all the family and to watch variety of birds and various species. When ready for rest you have the nice cafe by the lake. They do Very nice breakfast and light lunch hit and cold drinks in addition to the ice-cream. The park is very clean thanks to the devoted volunteers that make eveyone happy and enjoy the park while they do the hard work. The layout is also fantastic and you can explore one of your corner of the park in every

I have been going to the clough for almost 50 years. It is a beautiful park and has lovely scenery. Although it is set in the middle of Blackley, it is a hidden gem. Great for long strolls or a good run, it has long paths but plenty if hills if you fancy a challenge. The lake is a great place to see some wildlife- herons, turtles, ducks, geese and swans; the lakeside cafe offers a comforting menu and the staff are very friendly - dogs welcome! We’ll worth a visit!

Great for hikes, walks and flat tarmac bike rides. Could do with a mountain bike trail though hence missing one star from me.
Nevertheless, it is clean with good hilly elevations to give you a great workout. Also plenty of flat tarmac if you don't fancy climbs.
