GM Ringway 19 Altrincham - Stretford 2022

Stage 19 of the GM Ringway, Greater Manchester's long-distance trail, uses almost totally traffic-free waterways and paths to explore some of Trafford's attractive green spaces.

Highlights include:

- Quiet paths and byways that give a flavour of Altrincham's past as a Cheshire market town
- A little-known nature reserve off the Bridgewater Canal, with ponds and woodland
- Worthington Park and Priory Gardens, havens of greenery close to Sale town centre
- The shores of Sale Water Park, with its sailing boats and views over Broad Ees Dole nature reserve, rich in birdlife
- A surprisingly quiet section of the canal south of Stretford town centre, where the passing boats often create a colourful scene.

Great walk from Castle Mill Lane to Kell House Farm.

Sunbank Wood

Departure from Ringway (Greater Manchester)

This a pleasant little walk and sadly part of it is disappearing under concrete. Manchester Airport have developed on either side of Sunbank Lane. There was a petition to stop it but sadly it failed. There are some before and after pictures on the slideshow.
