Walks and trails in the Stockport area

Improvements to Etherow Country Park

We're carrying out vegetation and tree work in Etherow Country Park for the next 2 to 3 weeks. The work will improve the safety of and clear access to the structures in the park, improve water quality, biodiversity and public enjoyment of the park.

There will be temporary footpath closures/diversions to make sure you're safe when you use the park. Make sure you follow safety signs and safety marshals whilst the work is being carried out.

Etherow Goyt Valley Way

The Etherow Goyt Valley Way is a 15 mile footpath linking Vernon Park in Stockport with the Longdendale Trail in the Peak District near Hadfield.

It passes through riverside meadow and many areas of fine woodland. It has constantly changing and extensive views, especially in the middle section where the Way runs high above the valley.

History is brought to life in many interesting reminders of the Industrial Revolution, and wildlife enthusiasts will find much to enjoy.
