Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Alvanley

"Calderstones Park is a family park sprawling in a 94-acre wide area. A fusion of woodland, lake and fields, this is certainly one of the best places that the whole family can enjoy for different scenery and activities. Part of this park is a wonderful Japanese garden and old English gardens that would definitely provide you with both the eastern and western vibe."

"This 126 acres family park has a botanical garden, a playground and the six ancient Calderstones, after which the park is named. If you have kids, or if you yourself like animals, you will love the park. The park lake has ducks and geese swimming in it, always coming close in the hope of being fed."

"Open every day of the year, from morning until nightfall – and completely free to visit – the vibrant Fletcher Moss Park and Botanical Garden in Didsbury is a lovely place to spend an afternoon. In spring, the space comes alive with a burst of colour from its various wild flowers – with deep purples and warm oranges. It’s home to a host of wildlife, too – including a wide variety of birds."

"Founded in 1917, this large green space - part botanical garden and part wildlife habitat - is an engaging contrast to the busy city center. There are numerous walking trails on the property, as well as regular guided "health" walks. Popular things to do here include enjoying a stroll or picnic, or opting for more strenuous activities, such as tennis, rugby, or football."

"If you’re going to be visiting Legoland, be aware that Manchester’s SEA LIFE centre is located right next door and a joint ticket can be purchased for both destinations. You can roam the centre, walking through tunnels of exotic fish and coming face to face with sharks and stingrays; your kids can also have a go at diving in the immersive sea trek experience. Anyone can participate in this fantastic activity (the only one of its kind in Europe), wearing a special breath-easy helmet and a wetsuit to ensure that they are safe and comfortable during the ten-minute dive into the deep."

"Location: Intu Trafford Centre, Barton Square Bridge, Stretford, Manchester M17 8AS. Sea Life Manchester is one of the country’s top-rated aquariums and is home to thousands of fish as well as sharks, stingrays, and spider crabs. Meanwhile, two giant green sea turtles (Cammy and Ernie) are a major attraction too."

"Grosvenor Park is known as the main ornamental park in the entire city of Chester. Grosvenor Park is extremely popular to both local residents as well as visitors to the city. The Grosvenor Park is typically Victorian in terms of its layout as it heavily features formal avenues that are lined with statues, trees, and huge sweeping lawns which are surrounded with a variety of ornamental shrub beds and even a number of display bedding, for which this park has become well known for."

"Grosvenor Park was one of the first public parks in the UK outside of the industrial cities and was given to the citizens of Chester (Cestrians) in 1867 by Richard Grosvenor, the Second Marquess of Westminster. It is the ideal place to relax on hot summer days. There is also a miniature steam railway for children!"
