Chorlton Ees Nature Reserve

Nature and Parks in Manchester

"Once you’ve finished wandering the streets of the leafy Chorlton neighborhood, stroll across to Chorlton Ees, a woodland area and nature reserve where you can look for wildlife or walk the popular riverside paths alongside the River Mersey. In winter, the ash, hazel, willow, and other trees lose their bright fall foliage. Is summer, though, the open meadows are thick with wildflowers and butterflies, while the forested area and its marshy grasses have roaming foxes, amphibians, and even the occasional bat careening through the canopy. The best place to enter is from Chorlton Green at the end of Beech Road." - MATADOR_NETWORK
