Alphabet Friday - The Dingle


"D" is for "Dingle" and The Dingle is the name of the wooded valley that forms part of Stamford Park, on the boundary between Ashton and Stalybridge. The valley is the course of the Cock Brook between Darnton Road and Stamford Street. These steps lead down into the Dingle from near the tennis courts and Darnton Road entrance.

    We used to know this as bluebell wood i'm sure. There were loads of bluebells in the spring. Used to be a bit scared of walking past it late afternoon/evening though!
