Highfield Country Park Woodland Trails

Highlight • Forest

Wild and rugged: welcome to Highfield Country Park. The 70-acres of park land are mostly not manicured, allowing wild grasses and trees to hug the small paths through the woodland. The park does a good job at shutting out the hustle and bustle of one of the UK's biggest cities, and you will barely see another building. The park has been a designated Local Nature Reserve since 2008. You can find more information about the park here: highfieldcountrypark.org.uk

Gorton Lower Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Gorton Lower Reservoir was built in the early 1800s to provide water for the surrounding area. It was a supply reservoir until 1963 when it was decommissioned and became a leisure lake. Today the reservoirs are used for fishing, sailing and canoeing.
