Serene forest area featuring tree-shaded hiking trails & a stream with picturesque cascades. However please do not drive to visit this site. There is no car park at Fairy Glen and on-street parking is very limited. Local police will penalise people who park illegally/irresponsibly on the surrounding roads. If you are looking for a more suitable family day out in the local area then the scenic Beacon Country Park has ample parking and a wide range of facilities catering for all ages.
It's just a little 20 minute walk, with a small waterfall and pleasant farmland nearby, lots of wild garlic in summer. I live nearby. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there otherwise unless you can combine with something else. There are no facilities or information boards.

The section of the canal including the aquaduct is lovely with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside and further up to the viaduct, well worth a trip just keep your children close!!!!

Great walk in the disused railway line. Good views of Delph, the canal and the viaduct. Spectacular engineering all those years ago!

Free car parking near to the Smithills Hall museum, the country park presents a good range of pathways on what seems to be the old estate. In addition, the formal gardens next to the museum were lovely in bloom to walk around.
