“One of Greater Manchester’s hidden gems is the beautiful parish of Mellor, nestling in the far south eastern corner of Stockport and Marple. It rises from the valley of the rushing River Goyt through fields and woods to wild moorland, reaching over 1000 feet at the Derbyshire border close to the Peak District National Park. Its rich variety of landscapes is matched by its fascinating history, which has been traced back over thousands of years.

What Mellor has lacked is a publication which brings together a wide range of key information about this fascinating place.

Until now, that is. Because just published is a magnificent Walking Map of Mellor. It combines beautiful and authoritative mapping of the whole area, at a scale ideal for walkers and riders, with a range of photographs and a detailed collection of historical notes on the various points of interest in the district.

The Walking Map of Mellor is the brainchild of David Ackroyd and Peter Hewitt. David has lived in Mellor for many years and is a keen walker and local historian. He published (with a friend Geoff Heath) a book of 12 Mellor walks including a 10½ mile Mellor Boundary Walk. Peter worked years ago with David for Stockport Council, and after he retired in 1999, they began to walk together in the hills and valleys of Mellor. As they did so, they realised the need for a map of the area which would provide all the information walkers need to enrich their expeditions.

They resolved to fill that gap, and the result of their collaboration is the Walking Map of Mellor, already selling rapidly in the immediate area and now available to a wider audience. “

Information on Romiley , Stockport .

Having lived in Romiley for over 15 years and my husband all his life! I know quite a lot about the town itself and am very pleased to be apart of the community ! I love all the local walks around Chadkirk , Werneth Low,  around Guywood, Church Lane  ,  the canal and many more  ! Many dogs have enjoyed these walks .

Between Marple and Romiley is Etherow Country Park the biggest country park in Stockport ! I can walk to this from my house so I am very lucky!

I would like to share some information on Romiley-

History – “For centuries it was an agricultural area, until the late Victorian era, when it became a residential area, with a small district centre. There are four main schools: Romiley Primary School, Bredbury Green Primary and Greave Primary School, which is on the border with Woodley. Catholic education is provided at St Christophers Catholic Primary School in Romiley. Secondary education is provided by Werneth School and Harrytown Catholic High School. Romiley also has its own theatre, the Romiley Forum” From – .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romiley

Chadkirk Chapel is a lovely place to visit in Romiley as well with dogs and children . Events are held regularly throughout the year at the estate .

“A beautifully restored 14th century chapel set in the heart of Chadkirk Country Estate.

Relax in the peace and tranquillity of the setting and learn more about the history of the chapel, with the legends that link it to 7th century missionary, St Chad.

Enjoy a walk through the surrounding picturesque woodland and along the Peak Forest Canal before stopping for refreshments inside the chapel.” – From http://www.stockport.gov.uk/services/leisureculture/visitstockport/museumsandgalleries/chadkirkchapelcountryestate/

The Tangshutt Trail: One of Stockport’s Hidden Gems

Friends of Tangshutt is lottery funded and is a fantastic part of the Romiley community and is the community local ‘green space’ . It is nestled between Cherry Tree and Romiley , one of Stockport’s hidden gems. It is just a short walk from the town centre of Romiley and from Aussie Dog Care’s base. You will find meadows , a wooded valley , stream and playing fields which are used by local schools. In fact a ‘Safe Route to School’ leads you onto the site . It follows the line of the old footpath which used to be in place from Gotherage Lane in Cherry Tree to Compstall Road near the very centre of Romiley.  As part of the site is a Local Nature Reserve you can have a great time with the children or by yourself spotting the local wildlife and variety of plants . The Local Nature Reserve is managed by Stockport Council in a way which protects the wildlife and conserves the area . You can volunteer to help out with Friends of Tangshutt which help with wildlife recording and replanting .

Tangshutt is known by locals as Jimmy’s wood. The unusual name could have been given for a variety of different reasons . Some say it means the fork between two streams and another interpretation could be a wooded valley . I know for a fact the dogs I take , as well as my own , enjoy a paddle in the stream . The land in the past as long been used for farming , old pear trees still stand from those days . The land was passed into management of Stockport Council and for many years Bonfire Night , recently passed , marked a fantastic bonfire and firework display in the meadow all organised by the local Rotary Club .

Children from Romiley Primary School have planted many trees with volunteers from Friends of Tangshutt , Friends of Etherow Park ( another fantastic wildlife heaven to visit in Compstall ) and Stockport Parks Team . These trees will provide free fruit for the community and wildlife there .

For regular jogging , running or keeping fit you can keep to the surfaced path which also links with a public footpath towards Hyde Bank Farm , The Peak Forest Canal , Chadkirk and from there many places ! You can use Tangshutt as a local keep fit for free and there is also a fitness trail along the Tangshutt Trail .

If you want to find out more about Tangshutt and how to get involved being a volunteer ( a rewarding experience ) at this wonderful site please contact Stockport Parks on 0161 217 6111 who can put you in touch with Friends of Tangshutt.

You can find them on the internet also at http://www.stockportgreenspace.org.uk
