“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. “

The Tangshutt Trail: One of Stockport’s Hidden Gems

November 7, 2013 ~ aussiedogcare

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

Local Dog Walker Based in Stockport!

November 7, 2013 ~ aussiedogcare

Dog Walking

I offer Dog Walking for owners who may be out at work all day , busy , someone elderly that would like companionship but needs help with walking or if you just feel like going out all day for relaxation without the dog !

At Aussie Dog Care I promote myself in being a friendly , reliable and professional dog walker. I will always try to walk your dog in an area that they know and is suitable for the dog

We aim to give the right amount exercise desired by the breed making sure your dog is happy and tired when you come back home . At Aussie Dog Care we also tailor all walks to what you as an owner desire for you dogs.

On an ordinary Aussie Dog Care walk we will collect your dog from your home at a time you have given and walk for the specific time you have asked for perhaps longer. If your dog is wet or muddy I will dry all dogs as no muddy paw prints are left on the floor!

Aussie Dog Care as a business promotes itself in being a small family run business that walks local around Romiley. Dogs are never walked in a pack as I totally disagree with this method of walking.

The local areas I work/ cover in is Romiley , Stockport , Woodley, Bredbury , Hyde , Gee Cross , Hazel Grove , Godley , Wilmslow , Disley , Marple , Marple Bridge , Glossop , Poynton , Higher Poynton , New Mills , Hayfield , Whaley Bridge , Mellor.
