Fallowfield Loop
Chris HorkanFallowfield Loop, runs from Chorlton through to Gorton’s Debdale Park in East Manchester taking advantage of former railway lines to offer a pleasant, traffic-free, paved track, only disturbed by the odd chicane. It’s lined by trees and plants – perfect for a spot of fruit and elderflower foraging. Stop off in Levenshulme for the suburb’s independent market every Saturday, or get lost in the maze-like Antiques Village. Then continue east along the loop, with a short detour to Shores Fold Community Farm, before ending in the 130-acre green oasis of Debdale Park, which features a bowling green and two reservoirs for fishing.
