Improvements to Etherow Country Park

We're carrying out vegetation and tree work in Etherow Country Park.

This will improve the safety of structures in the park as well as clearing access to them, and improve water quality, biodiversity and public enjoyment of the park.

This work will be taking place over the next 12 weeks. We'll keep this area updated with any more developments.

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 while the work is being carried out.

Ladybrook Valley Interest Trail

The Ladybrook Valley begins in the moorland countryside of the Peak District. It covers a distance of 15 kilometres. This gradually falls by 275 metres through a variety of changing landscapes and habitats. It falls to its confluence with the River Mersey at Cheadle.

After leaving its source, above the Bollinhurst Reservoir, the river changes its name more than once as it flows from east to west. It flows from the Bollinhurst Brook, Norbury Brook, the River Ladybrook and the Mickerbrook. Each one has its own distinct character and environment.
