Overview

A slow, short circular walk, 2 miles, 2 hours from Piccadilly Station. We will walk via Umist buildings, Vimto Gardens, Archimedes and 2 giant magnets down London Road to where the River Medlock emerges from underground and meanders through Mayfield Park.

In the Park there is a mix of trees, wildflowers and some of the original steel beams have been used to form a bridge over some of the walkways.
