The Urmston & District Railway Society operates mini steam train rides for young children on Sundays at the family-friendly Abbotsfield Park. Find it on Chassen Road. The SatNav postcode is X.
Cost
£- The park is free to enter, though the rides cost. It's very inexpensive at 30p per steam train ride. Yes, you heard me right. Several rides, it is!
What's on offer
Every Sunday, families with young children can enjoy a miniature steam train ride around the perimeter of Abbotsfield Park. The park also offers Under 5's and children's play areas, tarmacked tennis courts and a bowling green.
Highlights
The park has a peaceful atmosphere and the train staff members are really enthusiastic and smiley, which is important for keeping little ones happy! It's also excellent value for money, as you can ride more than once and there are two children's playgrounds nearby. Take a picnic in Abbotsfield Park after your rides and you've got yourself a nice few hours and about in Manchester.
What to watch out for
Sometimes this park is known locally as 'Chassen Park'.
MFM tips:
Ring the park using the number on the official website to help you determine whether the rides are definitely on on your chosen visit day!
What the owners say
There are no toilets here, which can obviously be very problematic! There are bathrooms at a pub nearby.

It's not too easy to find on public transport. Make sure you plan ahead and work out an appropriate route, and prepare to walk a little bit. Keep an eye out for buses running past Church Road and Flixton Road.

About the park

This beautiful park is set in 109 hectares of open parkland in South Manchester, with historic and ornamental woodlands, herbaceous borders, formal bedding, open grassland and beautiful wildflower meadows.

The park is steeped in history and there are three Grade II Listed Buildings located within its boundaries: North Lodge, the Statue of Oliver Cromwell and Wythenshawe Hall.

A range of year-round leisure and educational opportunities for all ages includes a varied activities and events programme, with highlights such as the annual Wythenshawe Games, firework and bonfire extravaganza, and other seasonal celebrations.

A selection of audio guides, interactive maps and augmented reality games is also available via the Love Exploring app. See activities and events for more information.

The park is easy to access by car or public transport and there's parking available on site.

Wythenshawe Hall is a Grade II* listed building on the English Heritage Register of Parks. The Hall undertook a major restoration project following an arson attack in 2016. For more information, visit The Hall.

The official re-opening was celebrated in October 2022. The Friends of Wythenshawe Hall are supporting the Council with the project of re-opening the Hall to the public and are currently hosting open days and tours on a monthly basis.

The Wythenshawe Cycle Hub was developed in 2022 following major infrastructure work. This new hub saw the creation of a free to access, traffic-free cycle facility for all, including a learn to ride area, skills zone, pump track, woodland trails, and family trail. For more information, visit Wythenshawe Cycle Hub.

The investments into the park in 2022 also included the delivery of a new Athletics Track Changing Room facility to serve the parks needs. The project was completed in December 2022.

Nestled between the vibrant city of Manchester and the beginnings of rural Cheshire, Dunham Massey includes a 300-acre deer park, a historic house and buildings, and all-season gardens.

Outdoors, accessible paths pass roaming fallow deer and ancient trees in the parkland, while the Winter and Rose Gardens reveal the sights and scents of the seasons. Across the moat, the Georgian house offers a backdrop to the formal gardens making a picturesque spot for picnickers.

Indoors, ornate rooms and servant's quarters hold a collection that spans the history of the house, while the water-powered mill and other historic buildings add further context that beckons you into the past.

Trails, events and seasonal happenings are frequent, as is the tendency to return to this much-loved place.
