Hall and dog walks near Stockport, Cheshire
Lovely wooded parkland surrounding the totally other-worldly Hall. The park is run by Stockport Council, and dogs can run free under the trees.

This is a short walk that's a favourite with local dog walkers, who seem to be a happy and chatty bunch. You can get here from the M6 Junction 27 but there are no facilities.
This Country Park is a much bigger space than it seems at first, and there is plenty of choice of dog-walking routes. The park is midway between Junctions 2 and 4.
Bowlee Park, between Oldham and Bury, is much bigger than you might think at first, and there is good dog walking to be had here.
Fabulous and popular ice-cream shop and cafe with the pretty Huddersfield narrow canal to walk the dog on.

Good walking in a beautiful area.
A great off-lead walk that's popular with local dog walkers. The gorgeous little doggies enjoying a walk at Tandle are Shani, Lily and Bette, joined by Peaches, Solo and Saffron in the group snuffle!
Wonderful dog walking around Crompton Moor.
Country park, with lots of different scents and sniffing for dogs. The River Irwell runs through the park. It's interesting for people too - with industrial heritage to look at, and sculptures too.
A happy dog-friendly cafe and a walk along a pretty canal with woodland glades.
An exhilarating moorland walk that's marvellous for dog walking, and a well-heated pub with home cooking to warm up in afterwards. Note that dogs aren't allowed inside the pub.
