Overview

Following the Manchester Green Trail stage 8 from Chorlton Bus station to Alexandra Park, this short Urban walk, will start off through an urban park, then following Chorlton Brook to the tram line to meet the Fallowfield Loop line.  A stretch of road walking to end up in Alexandra Park.

There are no stiles but the stretch of the path alongside Chorlton Brook, which is narrow, uneven and can be muddy,  means the path is neither wheelchair accessible or pushchair friendly.  It is family friendly with quite a lot for children to see and do along the route.
