Tucked within Park Hall Country Park, these walks from Willot’s Wood offer a wonderful mix of peaceful woodland and dramatic landscapes.

From a gentle circular wander beneath oak, birch and hazel - with bluebells carpeting the ground in spring - to longer adventures that venture out to the striking scenery of Hulme Canyon, the walks gradually build in distance and variety.

If you’re feeling energetic, the longest option showcases all the highlights of the park in one memorable outing, combining woodland trails, open views and rugged quarry scenery into a rewarding day outdoors.

Park Hall Country Park is a fantastic place for a walking adventure where you can enjoy numerous different species of fauna and wildlife.

This set of 'Willot's Wood' Walks all start from one of three car parks in the park that we have featured on the app to help you navigate around this beautiful space.

The first route from this car park is a lovely circular walk around Willot's Wood which is a deciduous woodland containing a wide variety of native British trees.

You can expect to see Common Oak, Silver Birch, Hazel, Hawthorn, Rowan, Holly and a vast carpet of Bluebells in the spring.

This second route option from this car park is a longer adventure that packs two delightful punches. If you head anticlockwise, you'll first enjoy the wonderful varied woodland of Willot's Wood as in the first route.

However, the second half of the walk then takes you on an adventure deeper into the park until you reach the Hulme Canyon for a stroll full of dramatic scenery.
