Cheadle has some of the best park walking on the Stockport side of South Manchester — grand old estate parks and quiet brook-side trails. Here are the walks we rate most.
The short answer
In Cheadle our top picks are Bruntwood Park for space and variety, Abney Hall Park for woodland and water, and the Micker Brook / Ladybrook Valley trails for a quieter, sniffy wander.
Bruntwood Park
A big, varied park — open fields, a lake, woodland and plenty of room. There’s an enclosed area too, handy for dogs still working on recall. A favourite for our small-group dog walks.
Abney Hall Park
Mature woodland, the River Mersey and the remains of a Victorian estate make this a characterful, shady walk — lovely on a warm day.
Micker Brook & Ladybrook Valley
Follow the brook for a calm, green corridor away from the roads — ideal for older dogs or anyone who likes a steady, gentle outing.
