To ask if there are any Manchester Meadows?

[sunnyjune]

My friends definitely think I'm being unreasonable, I'm driving them mad with it😂

Does anyone know of any meadow type areas in or around Manchester? I'm in South Manchester but happy to drive.

I'm desperate to spend an idyllic Summers day in a meadow, on a blanket, with a picnic. I don't just want any old bit of grass land, I want to go somewhere really lovely. Does anywhere like this exist?

I have no small children to consider if that helps. I was thinking of somewhere like this:

*Note my picnic wouldn't be that fancy

Parts of Etherow country park would probably fit the bill, as would the area around saddleworth. You could certainly picnic at Heaton Park and Stamford Park but I wouldn't call it idyllic..!

@changedmynamex2 I live in Bolton and we take the dog up Rivington but i can never seem to find the same bit twice

Chorlton Meadows, Fletcher Moss, Lyme Park, Tatton Park...
