So whilst we might think this site is somewhere to walk the dog or take a breath of fresh air it could become a destination for mountain biking courses,bird watching,mountain boarding and mountain balling in the near future.
A wider network of pathways and greenspaces could be linked with way signs and information boards and a local visitors centre or cafe (like the one pictured above) could be the springboard to making this a major local visitor destination with over 2M people already within a 20-30 minute drive from the area.
Other areas worth a walk include Daisy Fields to the north of Sutton Manor accessible through King Georges playing Fields,Clock Face Country Park to the East through the Miners Way and beyond this Maypole Wood and Griffin Wood http://www.griffinwood.blogspot.com/ and link from here to Weatacre Woodland and the Bold Colliery and Colliers Moss recreation sites.
