The Green is one of the reasons why visitors are drawn to the village. With its semicircle of 'mock tudor' houses and mixed broadleaved trees, including an attractive row of limes which screen it from the busy Worsley Road, it is one of the most pleasing settings in the Manchester area. The historical Bridgewater canal runs nearby and Worsley Woods are easily accessible for those wishing to venture further afield and explore the lesser known wildlife areas that this village has to offer.
