A family attraction on the edge of Greater Manchester has opened a new lakeside walk with a sandy beach and pedalos.
After playing host to a Springland event with live characters over the Easter holidays, Partridge Lakes Cafe and Park in Culcheth, Warrington, is welcoming visitors to its new lakeside walk.
There’s a café on site and the new dog-friendly Partridge Park Walk – which is pram and wheelchair accessible – has opened with extra food and drink huts and character pedalos such as a unicorn, flamingo and dragon. Dogs can also have a swim when it’s quiet.

The pedalos cost £15 for a 20-minute session – available 10am to 2pm on selected dates – and you can book online and pick the pedalo of your choice.

The walk itself takes people on ‘a stunning lakeside trail through the natural world’, with many points of interest along the way as well as exciting diversions like giant games of Connect 4 and Kerplunk.
Visitors can relax in the sun on the sandy beach or enjoy the view from the benches and picnic benches which are scattered along the route.
As well as new refreshment outlets – selling pizzas, coffees and more – there’s a bar serving alcohol and a new lakeside outdoor seating area.
The main Partridge Lakes Cafe is already a firm favourite with visitors, and is dog-friendly inside and out with doggie treats available to purchase, along with food to feed the fish and ducks.

Partridge Lakes owners Barbara Ikin and Callum Morgan said: “We’ve enjoyed a great start to the year, and the lakes are currently looking absolutely stunning in the spring sunshine. Now we’re looking forward to a fantastic summer, and we can guarantee all our visitors will have a memorable time.
“We’ve worked hard to develop an exciting range of additional attractions and facilities for 2026 including a lovely new Partridge Park trail, additional refreshment outlets on site to complement the hugely popular Partridge Lakes Café, all with an unmatched lakeside setting and tempting treats, and not forgetting our new fleet of colourful pedalos which will be available for hire over the summer months.“
Partridge Lakes will also be the location for the Cheshire Wellness Festival which takes place on Sunday, June 28 and promises to be bigger, more beautiful and more transformative than ever in a day to pause, reset and reconnect.

The attraction is next to Partridge Lakes Fishery, set over 70 acres with 394 pegs across 15 waters.
We reported last week how it announced a change to its usual fireworks display for this year and will instead be hosting a professional laser show synchronised to music, alongside low noise fireworks with no bangs.
The owners said they ‘felt uneasy continuing with a traditional fireworks display’ knowing how so many families and pets struggle to cope with the noise.
Partridge Park Walk is open daily from 7.30am to 5pm, with refreshment huts open on selected dates. The main cafe is open daily, including bank holidays, from 7.30am to 4.30pm, with last hot food served at 3pm.
