Help connect Denton
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Denton’s Slow Ways.

Leaving Stockport Train station you begin the steep climb up Lancaster Hill. Down some lanes to Reddish Vale Country park. Onto the Trans Pennine Trail, fairlay accessible I saw bikesand horses. Not completely accessible to wheelchairs, due to barriers and Reddish Vale Country Park has a lake and pond and access to the river. Reddish Vale viaduct gives something to stare at, benches along the route so you can take a break finally ending up in probably the most unusual train station Denton. Which took me 15 mins to find access to. All in all I score this a 4, down one star for the amount of road walking to get to the trail....

The Peak Forest Canal makes a welcome appearance, then there's a quick cut across pasture. There are stiles here, as well as muddy paths where steps have often been added to help the walker. Horses may be in fields so keep dogs on leads, and enjoy the wide ranging views to the south before crossing the river and heading into quiet residential streets into Denton....

A surprising amount of variety in this suburb-to-suburb route: you start with a steep walk up a residential street to get the blood pumping and achieve an impressive view over towards Manchester, then it's farm tracks, pasture, a few stiles, and a bit of the Peak Forest Canal in the middle. Accessibility thoughts: as mentioned, there are stiles and pasture can be muddy....
