Daisy Nook Country Park
Manchester, Greater ManchesterAbout Daisy Nook Country Park
Nestled between the hustle and bustle of Oldham and Ashton-under-Lyne lies a magical oasis called Daisy Nook Country Park. This isn't just any park; it's a 40-hectare wonderland bursting with adventures waiting to be discovered by you and your little explorers.
Imagine a place where stories come to life, where woodland paths lead to secret ponds, and you can explore a varied landscape with a beautiful lake, canal and woodlands.
Things To Do
This stunning spot is great for bird watching and a wonderful habitat for wildlife such as woodpeckers, owls, foxes and squirrels. Take your time exploring all that nature has to offer and escape from daily life deep in the sanctuary of the woods.
Pack your explorer's hat and your curiosity, because Daisy Nook Country Park is a treasure trove of fun waiting to be uncovered. With winding trails perfect for family strolls, bike rides, or even a trot on horseback, there's no telling what you might discover next. Will it be a hidden glade, a bustling pond, or perhaps a new furry friend scampering in the underbrush?
It's time to listen out for the sensational chirping of birds, frolicking through the floral meadows and exploring the hectares of landscape that is sure to blow you away. It's a family-friendly beauty spot for a reason! From the canal features and the 5-mile Daisy Nook Trail to the whitewashed cottages - it's a fantastic spot to spend a family day out in.
And for the little adventurers, the park's play areas are like stepping into a kingdom of fun. With slides to conquer, swings to soar on, and climbing frames to master, the only limit is their imagination. It's a place where superheroes can save the day, pirates can discover new lands, and astronauts can fly to the moon, all before tea time.
There are also bridle paths for horse riding and clearly marked footpaths for ramblers or gentle family walks. If it’s a day fishing you’re after, tickets are available from the waterside for use of Sammy's Basin, Crime Lake and Bardsley Canal!
Enjoy fresh air, woodland and wildlife!
Food & Drink
Don't forget to pack a picnic! Daisy Nook's grassy meadows are the perfect backdrop for a family feast. Spread out your blanket, unpack your treasure trove of treats, and watch as the park transforms into your private dining room under the open sky.
Or head to the Daisy Nook Café for a bite to eat. From light bites to moreish meals.
