Daisy Nook Country Park is a 40-hectare park with a diverse landscape and waterways for recreation. It’s located in the centre of the Medlock Valley in both the Tameside and Oldham Councils in Greater Manchester.
Visitors have been coming to the area since the 19th century. It inspired Benjamin Brierley to write a short story called 'A Day Out, or a Summer Ramble to Daisy Nook', lending the park its official name. During the Victorian period, Daisy Nook Country Park was a popular spot for families and couples to enjoy canal-side walks, boat rides and picnics by the river.
