A ‘secret garden’ a thirty minute drive from Stockport offers an ideal beauty spot for a relaxing stroll on a Sunday afternoon. Hare Hill, near Alderley Edge in Cheshire, is a tranquil woodland with a walled garden at its heart.
Visitors can see Manchester’s skyscrapers towering through the sky from the garden, bordered with rare and exotic rhododendrons and azaleas. A number of ponds can be found dotted around Hare Hill garden too, buzzing with dragonflies and damselflies.
Small in size, the garden is not very well known compared to other National Trust sites, and also features wooden carvings of hares and metal sculptures of horses. Families can also explore the play area which is a haven for children, and take a visit to the little charity bookshop, while bird watchers can head for the bird hide to spot blue tits, tree creepers, and even a woodpecker from time to time.

Another visitor - 'PBPG' - shared a snap of the vantage point overlooking Greater Manchester and wrote on the travel platform: “This place is in the middle of nowhere but has some great views towards Stockport.
"Interesting place to walk round, sculptures of horses in the walled gardens and a collection of ponds. £9 to get in but worth it”
A third local - RazzyBthefirst - said she had been meaning to visit for a while and was left more than impressed. She suggested visitors become a member of the National Trust to avoid the £9 entry fee each time. “We walked through the woods, some beautiful and unusual flowers, so many different rhododendrons,"
