Roman Lakes Leisure Park - Marple

We celebrated a special occasion at the Roman Lakes, and it was absolutely fantastic. Our guests appreciated the laid-back atmosphere of the place. Today, we returned for their open day. They're not fully operational yet since the COVID pandemic, but they plan to hold more events to gradually reintroduce visitors to the park. We enjoyed a lovely walk, had a beer, grabbed a bite to eat, and even fed the ducks!

I really enjoy the Roman Lakes; it’s perfect for a lovely walk around the Arkwright Road in Marple, eventually leading to Strines Road. There’s a fantastic lake for fishing, and a kiosk that sells hot drinks and snacks. The café offers an all-you-can-eat option as well. The scenery is also stunning, making it a great spot for outdoor activities.

A lovely place to pause and unwind. We enjoyed some tasty takeaway snacks from the tea tubes, especially the Eier and Speckrolle, which was perfect for the chilly weather! The road leading here could use some improvement, but there is a parking area available. From this spot, you can easily access the excavation site and the garden house.

Lovely, tranquil place in the Goyt Valley, midway between Marple and Strines. The lake is pleasant to walk round, plenty of waterfowl to see there too. There is a nice cafe conveniently positioned to sell their wares. Highly recommended.

Quiet, beautiful, hidden gem. free parking, nice café area. only too. interesting walks. quaint little village on the way in, then a very dusty, dusty track, not too bad to navigate just geduld.
