Discover a refreshing secret about Salford - 60% of it is green space. Amazing isn't it? We have three green flag parks, five local nature reserves, and over 20 public parks there's plenty to keep you occupied. Sometimes the most revitalising activity is simply to let time drift by. Flying a kite, pausing to notice the many aromas of wild flowers or sitting with a picnic in a bluebell wood.

You can explore Clifton Country Park's beautiful meadows, play hide and seek in Worsley Woods, turn cartwheels in the fields at Blackleach Country Park, or enjoy a brass band concert with an ice cream in the summer at Victoria Park. If you prefer a more wild approach, try some real wilderness at Chat Moss.

With acres of countryside and parks and remnants from the industrial revolution to discover, plus walking trails, cycle routes, woodlands and miles of canals, Salford is the perfect place to experience Manchester's Countryside.
