Blackleach’s 100 acres of greenbelt are great for exploring on your horse - you’d never guess that this used to be the site of a chemical works. Clifton’s 80 acres of countryside also make a good horse ride, home to a Wet Earth Colliery, this beautiful park has a variety of wildlife habitats - woodland, wetland, ponds and a fishing lake. Whilst at Clifton meet Salford’s own gentle giants - the shire horses who now live at the 19th century working Clifton House Farm.
