Mersey Valley Timberland Trail
Follows the Mersey Valley through mixed woodland and open meadows with mostly flat, well-maintained paths suitable for families and buggies on main sections. Dogs welcome and often off-lead in designated areas. Expect gentle riverside walking with good birdwatching opportunities, occasional muddy patches after rain, and several access points making shorter loops possible. Popular for its green corridor feel despite being close to urban Stockport.
