Bruntwood Park is designated as a Local Nature Reserve to protect the biodiversity of its woodland corridors.
Bruntwood Park is a historic 100-acre estate in Cheadle featuring a mix of mature woodland, formal gardens, and extensive recreational facilities. The site serves as the venue for the Stockport BMX track, one of the region's few floodlit facilities dedicated to the sport. A large wooden adventure play area, known locally for its scale, provides specialized equipment for children of various ages. The grounds retain elements of their Victorian estate history, including rhododendron displays and ornamental ponds. Visitors can access a network of surfaced and woodland paths suitable for walking and light cycling. The park also contains a dedicated archery range and cricket pitches used by local clubs. A permanent café facility operates on-site, serving as a hub for visitors near the main car park.
