Hiking
Cotton Field Park sits beside New Islington Marina, bringing water, planting and open space into the heart of this part of the city. Boardwalks wind around the canal basin and distinctive islands, with wildflowers, reed beds, Scots pines and an orchard helping to create habitat for wildlife. It’s a great place to pause on the route, watch the barges, or carry on along the waterside towards Ancoats and the wider canal network.

In the heart of New Islington, Cottonfield Park is a delightful place to explore with its urban beach, orchards, wild flowers and reed beds. There are lovely places to grab a brew or something stronger and enjoy the waterside.
