Tangshutt
Fields is a well used public green space between Cherry Tree and
Romiley. It can be accessed either via Tangshutts Lane, off
Compstall Road,
Romiley or off Gotherage Lane, Cherry Tree or via public footpath 18
which runs alongside the playing fields off Gotherage Lane and leads
towards Hyde Bank Farm, the Peak Forest Canal and beyond. A three
metre wide safe route to school with lighting runs through Tangshutt
from Gotherage Lane through to Compstall Road, Romiley. The Safe
route to school together with public footpath 18 is used by many as
part of a popular circular route back into Romiley, including a
weekly Health Walk or people have the option of joining the Peak
Forest Canal and the footpath network for a longer walk, run or
cycle ride. On the playing field side of Tangshutt there is a
children's playground, a multi use games area which includes an all
weather tarmac basketball and football area. There is also an
outdoor gym and benches. The meadow side is part of Tangshutt Local
Nature Reserve which also includes the wooded valley and stream. A
Community Orchard is planted around the edge of Tangshutt meadow and
also around the playing field side of Tangshutt. The Friends of
Tangshutt lead the weekly Health Walk through Tangshutt, starting at
Hewitt's Coffee shop, Compstall Road at 10am on Tuesdays and also
organise the annual May Day on the Meadow event on Tangshutt Meadow
on the first Bank Holiday Monday in May from 12 noon til 3pm. Please
note there is no parking on site. When funding is available we also
fund free sport and dance sessions for children and young people on
the playing field side of Tangshutt, off Gotherage Lane during the
Summer holidays.
