Boggart Hole Clough

Spanning 170 acres of ancient woodland and steep ravines, Boggart Hole Clough is a dramatic green sanctuary just north of Manchester city centre. With woodland trails, an athletics track, boating lake, playgrounds, and tennis courts, it invites families, fitness groups, and friends to gather, explore, and spark conversations amid nature. The park’s vivid folklore—home to the legendary Lancashire “Boggart” spirit—adds intrigue and conversation starter to communal walks and sporting meet-ups. Regular cross‑country events and summer bonfires bring people together in celebration of the landscape’s heritage and mystery.
