A history walk titled 'Old Farms of Blackley' will be held in Bailey’s Wood, Manchester on 12 September 2026 at 11:00. The free event explores the history of local farms through guided woodland walks.

A woodland walk with stories of local farms through history

Join us for a woodland walk with stories and history of our local farms (including Dam Head and Knottley Hill), celebrating the farming heritage of Blackley. This walk is suitable for all ages, but under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Meet at the Grange Park Road entrance to the woods.

This is a free event, and part of Heritage Open Days 2026.

Please note: not all paths in the woods are fully accessible and can be slippy/muddy in some weathers. As far as possible, the walking route will be chosen to suit the walkers in attendance on the day. If you would like more information, please get in touch with the Friends of Bailey's Wood.

Dogs welcome, but please keep them on a lead. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for the weather.
