Exploring Greater Manchester's Green Spaces

Explore the vast collection of nature reserves, woodlands, parks and waterways that make up Red Rose Forest and Pennine Edge Forest and discover the countryside on your doorstep!
Our newly updated Places to Go leaflet lists 100 green spaces across Greater Manchester and provides public transport information for how to get there.

The parks, woodlands and nature reserves in Red Rose Forest and Pennine Edge Forest play a vital role in improving the quality of life in an urban environment, helping to reduce noise pollution, improve air quality, create a sense of well being, promote biodiversity and meet the challenge of climate change. By using public transport to explore the forests you can also help to reduce your own carbon footprint, and combat congestion and pollution.

So whether you want action, a breath of fresh air, some quite contemplation, or a family day out, there is something in Red Rose Forest and Pennine Edge Forest to suit you.
