Welcome to Baguley: Royal Oak

Houses on Royal Oak Road Cottage Flats on Baxter Gardens

Royal Oak is a small estate in Baguley, about eight miles south of the city centre. It is just south off Altrincham Road, opposite Wythenshawe park. It's close to Princess Parkway - a major route into the city from the M56 and the motorway network. So there's good access to Manchester Airport and other areas of south Manchester and Cheshire.

Living in Royal Oak

Royal Oak is next to the large Tesco supermarket on Altrincham Road, and the Habitat store and post office on Southmoor Road. The civic centre in the middle of Wythenshawe has more shopping, a food hall and a thriving market.

There is good public transport along Altrincham Road - to the city centre, Altrincham and Wythenshawe hospital.

The Forum centre is a modern, welcoming, safe and accessible building at the heart of community life - the place to come for leisure, learning and childcare. It has indoor leisure facilities including a swimming pool, gym, sports hall and fitness centre. There's a health centre, children's nursery, and a job centre.

Royal Oak is close to Wythenshawe park - one of the biggest and best in the city! There's a horticultural centre, pets corner, crazy golf, horse riding, bowling greens, pitch and putt, tennis courts, an athletics track, football pitches and much more. It hosts Family Fundays throughout the summer, plus an annual firework and bonfire extravaganza.
