Where You’ll Find Us
On the outskirts of Greater Manchester, Tameside, Werneth Low.
Here, you’ll find pony fields, fresh air, a country park, woodland, and sweeping views across Greater Manchester. It is a space that feels removed from the everyday rush, yet is easy to reach. This calm, rural edge becomes a foundation for focus and change.

Welcome to Wild Mane
Wild Mane offers structured outdoor sessions that give people the chance to move, try, explore, and succeed, at their own pace.
We focus on practical activity, steady guidance, and situations where confidence can grow naturally.
No pressure. No fixing. Just a space where people can recognise what they’re already capable of, and build from there.
