Palm Brook runs from hammersley Hayes in Cheadle and joins cecilly Brook behind the old silk mill. Along it's banks water voles (Ratty from The Wind in The Willows) can be seen, also Kingfishers, Bats, Herons and Buzzards are often here. Wellies may be required in wet weather. The JCB factory has now gone and a new housing development in its place. The nature reserve has not been spoilt by this.
