River Mersey

Highlight • River

Once the border between the ancient kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria, the River Mersey is firmly rooted in British history. The river was an important transport connection during the Industrial Revolution which swept from the North of England to the South, and across the world. Unfortunately, its industrial past severely affected the water quality so a big project was launched in 1985 to clean the river. The Mersey flows 70.33 miles (113 km) from Stockport to Liverpool Bay.

Highfield Country Park Woodland Trails

Highlight • Forest

Wild and rugged: welcome to Highfield Country Park. The 70-acres of park land are mostly not manicured, allowing wild grasses and trees to hug the small paths through the woodland. The park does a good job at shutting out the hustle and bustle of one of the UK's biggest cities, and you will barely see another building. The park has been a designated Local Nature Reserve since 2008. You can find more information about the park here: highfieldcountrypark.org.uk
