Clifton Country Park

Industrial heritage is also a feature of the park; the remains of Wet Earth Colliery can be found in the woods, along with Fletcher's Canal.

The action plan also identifies two Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for their biological diversity.

The marina has also been cited as a place to plant trees and develop a green area along the western edge of the Greater Manchester conurbation.

[3] Clifton Marina, a gravel pit developed during the construction in the 1960s of the M62 across the Irwell Valley (now part of the M60), is popular with walkers, joggers and fishermen.

There is a surfaced path around the lake providing a circular walk which is fully accessible for disabled users including those in motorised wheelchairs.
