Manchester Green Trail Day 5

Peel Hall Park to Cringle Park

Distance: 13 miles

Cold and windy, but occasional sunshine.

Primroses, blossom, celendine, wild garlic

We started the walk in Peel Hall Park, where the buildings have gone but the moat remains, and then into Ash Wood which was very pretty and tidy. Then we got a bit lost in a housing estate and Rose Hill Woods, visiting the memorial and bridge to some local chap, before having a bit of a look at the edge of a golf course. There was no exit here so we turned back the way we'd come and into Northenden through some nice houses and Riverside Park on to the banks of the River Mersey. 

We followed the river (where Ellie the dog had found something very interesting to eat) towards Kenworthy Woods and into Fletcher Moss Park, where we had a coffee at the pretty cafe.

Cringle Fields proved a bit difficult to get out of (the route leaflet does say to not go into the fields but to wak along the road instead) but we did make it into the park, where we stopped at a bench near to the stone circle and the end of our walk.
