I used to go to Wyming Brook as a child in the 1950's. We'd go by bus and spend the day there. My father would pick us up after work in the family small van. 3 kids rattling round in the back all the way to Attercliffe. It was certainly more open then. Later in the year we would pick pounds of bilberry for pies ( precious bilberry eked out with apples ). Whisper it quietly but my father used to take a bag for leaf mold too. Not much as it all had to be carried home. Happy days
Wyming Brook and the surrounding area look enchanting! I must try and find a way there by public transport - I don’t want to drive.
Is the flower below the “What’s on” postings a wood anemone or a wood sorrel? Either way, it’s so pretty! Woodland floors have a particular charm in the spring, and I’m glad that some of the evergreens are being replaced with deciduous trees, as this gives the little things a chance to shine!
The 51 bus terminates at Lodge Moor and Wyming Brook is around a 30 minute walk further up from there. The 257 runs along Manchester Road (and goes round a fair bit of Derbyshire) and there is a stop that is basically at the entrance to the nature reserve

Thanks Kathryn!
