Stoden two

Verified Slow Way

Verified by 100.00% of reviewers

This route joins Stockport and Denton, starting at Stockport Railway Station and using three pedestrian crossings to take St Petersgate to St Peter’s Square, then following Stoden 1 through the town centre to Lancashire Hill before turning east where a loop avoids long flights of steps.

The path now follows the River Tame and crosses Tiviot Way before entering Reddish Vale Country Park. The broad path here is through woodland, with the Tame below to the left and many paths leading off to the right to nearby Brinnington.

Now the path turns to the northwest and descends steep steps, and crosses the Tame near Reddish Vale Country Park Visitor Centre, beside lakes. A quiet road leads to a path that climbs up under the large viaduct and then across the M60 motorway. Soon after the derelict Hyde Hall, the path reaches the outskirts of Denton.

The path continues along Town Lane (Stoden 1 here takes a left turn down Warren Close) and at the T junction turns right (also Town Lane), and then takes the fourth left down Acre Street. Then after 400 metres the path turns right into Victoria Park, crossing the Park diagonally to pass by the Town Hall to enter the large square, where there is a main bus terminus and the end destination
