Originally a hamlet but now a thriving district of Manchester, Blackley lies in a bend of the River Irk, just south of Boggart Hole Clough and on the east and west sides of Rochdale Road – a major route from Manchester to the north and to the M60 orbital.
Blackley certainly has more than its fair share of green space and parks, with so much to enjoy at Tweedale Common, Irk Valley, Blackley Forest, Nutbank Common, Heaton Park and Boggart Hole Clough. Heaton Park is the largest park in Greater Manchester and the largest municipal park in Western Europe, providing some 25% of Manchester's green space.

TRANSPORT
Blackley is very well served by public transport, with buses travelling directly to and from Manchester city centre. There are also frequent Metro-link trams into the centre and as far south as Altrincham as well as north of Bury.
