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

"This beautiful park opened up in 1926 {which was news to me!. } and it has everything from an iconic bandstand, a beautiful boating lake and Italian style gardens. My kids and I love nothing more than a good old-fashioned picnic under the shade of the trees in Stanley Park, especially on a good day!"

"Home to over 2000 marine creatures, this is another worthy visit – especially on a rainy day. You and the family can enjoy the aquarium zones, from the small creatures of the Rock Pools, to those of the Atlantic Depths and the fish of the Quayside. Or you can immerse yourself in a world of stingrays, take a submarine ride to the depths of the ocean, or walk through the spectacular ocean tunnel."

"For nature lovers, Sea Life Blackpool offers an opportunity to dive into the world of underwater wildlife. Not far from the central pier, it is home to more than 2,000 different sea creatures, including rare tropical fish, rays, octopus and even sharks. The centre also carries out vital conservation work to protect the outstanding aquatic life of the local area."

"1 km from city center 4 out of 10 places to visit in Blackpool. Close to the tower is the Sea Life Centre in Blackpool which is famous for its wide variety of marine life. It has the largest collection of sharks in Britain."

"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."

"The award-winning Avenham and Miller Parks are two adjoined parks located close to Preston City Centre in the stunning Avenham Valley and providing the ideal place to picnic, take a walk, relax and get some fresh air. The popular Ribble Valley Way National Trail also follows the river through Avenham Park and provides a fantastic and idyllic picturesque setting to enjoy by foot or bike."

"Prestwich Forest Park consists of four smaller parks which make up 200 acres of woodlands: Philips Park, Drinkwater Park, Waterdale, and Prestwich. These parks can be heavily wooded (particularly Drinkwater), so it’s a beautiful place to spend a day away from the noise of town. Exploring the woods can be an enlightening experience, so long as you take care while wandering amongst the broad-leaved trees."

"Treat the family to a day out at Brockholes, boasting the UK’s first floating visitor village and the 250-acre Lancashire Wildlife Trust nature reserve. Whilst you’re ambling along the River Ribble and the nearby lakes, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife. What’s more, you’ll be able to visit year-round with free admission!"

"Buile Hill Park is, for many, the pillar of the Salford community. Situated in Seedley and Pendleton, it is the largest park in the city, and also the second oldest behind Peel Park. The park as we know it today was opened in 1903 when, what was known as Seedley Park, and the grounds of Buile Hill house were joined together by the closure of the ‘dog entry’ path which had separated them."

"Buile Hill Park is a Grade II listed public park and hall and is the second oldest park in the city, after Peel Park. The park is also the largest in the city, as well as one of the most popular. Buile Hill Park has a significant history, with close links to the artist LS Lowry, as well as being used as a military base in both world wars."

"On Dale Street, on the edge of the bun fight that is the modern Northern Quarter, Idle Hands offers peace, quiet, a reliably brilliant flat white and some of Manchester’s best brunch dishes and baking (do not miss the pecan or salted caramel apple pies). Savoury options range from poached eggs with garlic yoghurt, chilli butter sauce and za’atar flatbreads to cowboy beans on sourdough from Pollen Bakery, which itself runs a well-regarded cafe further out into Ancoats. No bookings, outdoor seating and takeaway available, QR code ordering preferred (cash is accepted)."

"Located on Dale Street, on the outskirts of the vibrant Northern Quarter, Idle Hands is one of our favourite spots to dive inside when the rain starts to fall. The kitchen puts out unbeatable pies and delicious brunch food, while the bar sells natural wine and craft beer alongside coffee from ever-changing roasters."
