There are several 'garden rooms' to explore (Image: Vincent Cole - Manchester Evening News) Greater Manchester is home to a plethora of stunning parks, gardens and green spaces just waiting to be discovered. While some are well-known - such as Heaton Park or Fletcher Moss - there are others that remain hidden gems. One such gem is Walkden Gardens, a charming green oasis tucked away off Marsland Road in Sale.
The gardens are divided into different 'rooms', each boasting unique features, essentially forming 'gardens within gardens'. Perhaps the most eye-catching feature is the wisteria arch, which stretches over 70ft long, offering a breathtaking covered walkway that immerses visitors in nature. Intriguingly, the garden also features a 'Theatre Lawn' used for events, including performances of plays like Macbeth and a Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
There's the Fuchsia Garden, with its neatly clipped box hedging, the Conifer Garden and the Dovecote Garden, which houses the romantic-looking Dovecote structure. This structure originally stood within the grounds of Sale Old Hall but was preserved when the hall was demolished in the 1920s. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
