Manchester oasis
Walkden Gardens is a beautiful little place tucked away near Sale, a suburban area of south Manchester.
I visited for the first time on a hot day and was struck by the peace, quiet and cool little corners.
It’s a relatively small plot, criss-crossed with hedges and pathways which make it feel like a maze. I ran into someone who was lost and asked where the entrance was!
The gardens are understated but peppered with delightful blooms, while the dovecote and pergola walk are special features. Enjoy this little tour…
