GM Ringway Stage 2 - Sale Water Park – Didsbury Village

Overview

This is one of the 20 stages of the GM Ringway – the new walking trail for Greater Manchester. Stage 2 follows a series of pretty, traffic-free footpaths through the Mersey Valley greenbelt of South Manchester.This section has now been revised to finish at Didsbury Village Metrolink station rather than East Didsbury, reducing the amount of roadside walking on this and the following stage.Note that the latter parts of the stage close to the Mersey in Didsbury can be flooded after heavy rain. If this is the case, please follow the diversions indicated.Note that parts of the trail may be damp, muddy and slippery at any time of year and especially after periods of wet weather. Please bear this in mind when planning your trip.
