The Carrs Wilmslow Drone Footage

The Carrs Wilmslow, a beautiful park in the heart of Wilmslow.
The River Bollin meanders through picturesque parkland with footpath links into Styal Country Park and the Dean Valley. These seventy acres were purchased in 1935 by the Wilmslow Urban District Council to mark the jubilee of King George V and are ideal for gentle walks
Perhaps the greatest virtue of The Carrs is the illusion of isolation it creates. Trees line the slopes of the Bollin Valley hiding the houses above and creating the illusion of nature extending far beyond the park's real boundaries. Thus it provides one of the greatest gifts of a park to its urban users, that of relief from the built environment. Obviously, it wasn't always like that.
The word 'Carrs' derives from the Norse 'Kjarr' meaning 'meadow recovered from bog' and so identifies not only the original state of the land but also its subsequent use, as pasture land for the villagers to graze their cattle. The park that we enjoy today began to take shape in 1925 when Henry Boddington of Pownall Hall donated the eponymous Playing Fields (a gift commemorated on the stone archway in Chancel Lane). The 1935 purchase by former Wilmslow Urban District Council of the remaining land up to Twinnies Bridge brought the parkland to 50 acres and established The Carrs as the town's playground.
