Welcome to Abbey Hey

Abbey Hey is a small suburban area located in the east of Manchester, in the county of Greater Manchester. The area is known for its rich industrial history, which dates back to the 19th century. Abbey Hey was once home to a number of cotton mills and factories, which played a significant role in the growth and development of the area. Today, the area is a mix of residential and commercial properties, with a number of local businesses and amenities serving the local community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Abbey Hey is the Abbey Hey Viaduct, which was built in the early 20th century to carry the railway line over the River Medlock. The viaduct is an impressive feat of engineering, with 22 arches spanning a total length of 1,200 feet. Today, the viaduct is a popular spot for walkers and cyclists, offering stunning views of the surrounding area. The viaduct is also a key part of the local transport network, with trains passing over it regularly.

Abbey Hey is also home to a number of green spaces, including the Gorton Reservoirs and Debdale Park. The Gorton Reservoirs are a series of three reservoirs that were built in the 19th century to supply water to the local area. Today, the reservoirs are a popular spot for fishing and birdwatching, with a number of rare bird species found in the area. Debdale Park is a large public park that offers a range of facilities, including a boating lake, a children's play area, and a sports centre. The park is a popular spot for families and sports enthusiasts, with a range of activities on offer throughout the year.
