Park Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Cheshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and diverse range of plant species. The plantation is situated within the larger Park estate and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and families alike.

The woodland is predominantly composed of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a vibrant canopy during the summer months. These trees provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife, from birds and small mammals to insects and amphibians.

Park Plantation features well-maintained walking trails that wind through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore its hidden gems and enjoy the tranquility of nature. The paths are suitable for all ages and fitness levels, with some areas offering wheelchair accessibility.

The woodland is also home to an array of wildflowers, including bluebells, primroses, and orchids, which create a vibrant tapestry of colors during the spring and summer seasons.

Park Plantation offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature and enjoy the beauty of Cheshire's countryside.

Toppled Milestone, Bagbrook Bridge This cast iron milestone is marked on the OS maps about 300m south of the Monks Heath cross roads. Unfortunately it is lying on its back (this is an aerial photo) in the hedgerow alongside the A34, Congleton Road. A combination of creeping ivy and rust will soon render it illegible.
