Beautiful place for a quick getaway from the city. Barely any people.

A lovely place with lots of wild life, if you are lucky you might see a kingfisher.

Nice small route. Got about 5000 steps in. Abit muddy so wellies needed. Would be more fun in spring or autumn to get the fl visual effect.

Lovely Community Forest. My children used to play there but I had only gone in for the odd walk round the lake until recently. Since Lockdown 2020 I have been all over including off the beaten path. It isn't that large but it's an interesting forest as it has a lake, a river hills and steps. The entrance off Victoria Avenue has ramped access although only the path near River Irk is level enough for wheelchairs. The other main entrance is off Blackley New Road. The birdsong in there is just amazing and a kingfisher has been regularly spotted on the River Irk. You can also see the occasional deer - we spotted one by the river but we have heard lots of accounts of other sightings all over the forest. We have enjoyed watching two pairs of coots caring for their offspring on the lake. They are very good parents and fierce in their protection of their young. I definitely recommend exploring this forest.

Nice walk although disappointed with parts being untidy and rubbish left
