Walks and trails in the Stockport area

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.

Trans Pennine Trail

The Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) is an exciting route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders linking the North and Irish seas, passing through the Pennines, alongside rivers and canals and through some of the most historic towns and cities in the North of England.

At Stockport the TPT has two options: one taking in the attractions of the centre - including the unique Hat Museum and Air Raid Caves, or the quieter route to the north of the town. The trail then leaves Stockport through the leafy Tame Valley.
