Daisy Nook Country Park, Failsworth

Lovely country park, which includes woodland, a canal and ponds. Free spacious parking, however it can get busy. Amenities and food available. Not sure there is a bus service. A few tracks, and some that lead into the surrounding countryside. Lots of wildlife and people are generally friendly.

Daisy Nook is a great place to visit where people are friendly and welcome you with a hello or a story to tell. Daisy Nook has a smallish car park but also is served by a bus route which drops you near the entrance. In addition to this there is a small cafe that serves arrange of refreshments and food items. As well there is toilets for all. Daisy Nook caters for all types of people and needs as there is plenty of different types that use this park from families, walkers, runners, dog owners and even photographers. There is a child's play area within the grounds where children can have fun. There is a horse riding place next door to Daisy Nook in which you might find riders on their horse riding along the bridal paths. Daisy nook is also used for fishing in the big lake too. You simple could spend hours there and enjoy yourself. I love going for the wildlife and getting to meet a variety of people.

My Patterjack loves this place. It's a dog's paradise. This time of year autumn is magical. Grab a sausage sandwich and coffee from the cafe to warm you up at the end of the walk or give you energy at the start. Top notch park not miles out of town. Parking can be problematic at times but usually a space will appear.

This stunning spot is great for bird watching and a wonderful habitat There are bridle paths for horse-riding and clearly marked footpaths for ramblers or gentle family walks. Enjoy fresh air, woodland and wildlife!

Ample parking upon arrival, with toilets on site and a nicely decorated Cafe with helpful staff. The locals were very friendly here and there was a play area with a large wooden ship construct for children to explore. Many of the footpaths are pram friendly and dogs are very welcome here too. We saw lots of horses, with a riding school behind the Cafe, this made sense. We saw streams, lakes/ponds with different birds and I think it is suitable for fishing too. The walkways around the ponds are very well taken care of and there are many footpaths that veer off in different directions to explore. Very beautiful and peaceful place, I look forward to visiting again soon.
