Roman Lakes is a scenic leisure destination set beside a historic lake near Marple, in the Stockport area of Greater Manchester.

The lake itself has long been a popular retreat, drawing visitors since Victorian and Edwardian times when excursion trains brought day-trippers from Manchester and Sheffield to enjoy rowing boats, tea rooms, and a dance floor.

The site is accessible on foot or by bike from Marple centre or Marple Bridge, each roughly a mile away, as well as from Strines Road via a footpath through Barlow Wood. Marple and Strines railway stations both provide access for those arriving by train.

The surrounding valley offers circular walking and cycling routes, and the nearby remains of Mellor Mill form part of the wider Roman Lakes estate.
