The serene country park near Greater Manchester which has been 'haunted' by a ghost for centuries

It's a serene country park, nestled in stunning woodland, that's just a few miles from Greater Manchester. But it's also home to the legend of a ghost which has reportedly spooked locals for centuries.

Marbury Country Park, near Northwich in Cheshire, has had numerous reported sightings of the ghost of the Marbury Lady. A sculpture in her honour stands on the edge of the park, towering over a nearby road while gazing at the trees, Cheshire Live reports.

From the other side, the figure can be seen clutching a shawl wrapped around her, staring towards where the once imposing Marbury Hall previously stood.

It is part of a trail through the park which tells the tale of Marbury Lady, and could be well worth a visit ahead of Halloween. READ MORE: We spent a day at the huge Therme waterpark that's coming to Manchester - it's jaw-dropping The sculpture was crafted by artist Simon O'Rourke in 2019 and 2020.
