Information about this open space

Just 15 kilometres from the centre of Manchester the 80 hectares (200 acres) of Werneth Low Country Park are both a haven for wildlife and an area for recreation.  The Country Park offers pleasant walks, a visitor centre, and events for all the family, all year round. Werneth Low has long been famed for its stunning views. On a clear day sit and admire the far flung views to the Pennines or across the Cheshire Plain to the Welsh hills. The towns of Greater Manchester lie nearer at hand, while southwards and eastwards the scene is dominated by the Peak District valleys, hills and moors.  The Country Park is jointly managed by Tameside Council and the Hyde War Memorial Trust.  For further details contact:  Werneth Low Country Park Lower Higham Visitor Centre Higham Lane, Hyde, SK14 5LR Tel and Fax: 0161 368 6667
