Tameside Council does not permit metal detecting on its public open space for a number of reasons:

The countryside sites owned by Tameside Council have important flora and fauna which we wouldn’t want disturbing, and others contain important archaeological remains.
Many of the Victorian urban parks have significant archaeological histories we wouldn’t want disturbing and as busy open spaces it is not appropriate to have people digging holes.
Other recreation spaces are used as football pitches where again we wouldn’t want people digging and others are former tip sites where we would not permit it for safety reasons.

Werneth Low Country Park

The nearest bus stop is in Gee Cross on the main A560 south of Hyde. Baron Road leads from here to the Baron Fields entrance to the country park. On all roads approaching the Country Park keep a look out for the brown and white direction signs.
There are three car parks in the country park: at Lower Higham, the Quarry and Windy Harbour.
Please drive with caution along the narrow lanes that go through and beside the country park.
