Birchfields Park

This is a walk of just over two miles, and takes less than an hour to complete.  This walk includes the sights of Manchester Metropolitan University, and the lovely Birchfields Park.  This walk offers delightful views of the park whilst also offering some benches for a place to stop and relax.  The park is also home to an interesting stone garden, a bowling green and is divided by Gore Brook that runs through it.
