Greater Manchester is surrounded by incredible countryside, from the Peak District to the east to the Cheshire Plains to the south. Yet sometimes it’s nice to stay closer to home, which is when an urban walk comes in handy.
The Fallowfield Loop is a traffic-free route which curves its way through the suburbs of south Manchester, connecting Chorlton with Fairfield in Tameside. The walking and cycling track passes through Fallowfield and Levenshulme along the way, stretching on for around eight miles.
Creating a link between green spaces and parks, including Highfield Country Park and Debdale Park, the route provides a leisurely stroll away from the hum of traffic, but without the need to venture outside of the M60. It’s green and leafy, but with the occasional graffiti-strewn wall providing some urban edge.
