"Founded in 1917, this large green space - part botanical garden and part wildlife habitat - is an engaging contrast to the busy city center. There are numerous walking trails on the property, as well as regular guided "health" walks. Popular things to do here include enjoying a stroll or picnic, or opting for more strenuous activities, such as tennis, rugby, or football."
"Fletcher Moss Park is located in Didsbury and is a great place to go if you really appreciate nature. The pathways take you through some lovely scenery, making it an ideal place to take a long, relaxing walk. There’s also a café on-site for when you’re feeling a bit peckish, and you could get a little picnic going with your household/bubble."

"The Peak District's extraordinary geology can be seen up close in this large limestone cave far beneath the 100 acres of Buxton Country…"
"Peak District National Park does not really deserve its name. There are no towering peaks here, only open swamps, beautiful river valleys and gentle hills. The highest place is only 636 meters above sea level. A large number of limestone faults have created a unique landform for the peak area, making it the best choice for tourists to hike, hike, cave and climb, and is therefore known as the paradise of British outdoor sports."
"Set within 23 acres, Buxton Pavillion Gardens is beautifully manicured with ornamental lakes, flowerbeds, mature trees, meandering paths and a wrought iron bandstand. It makes for a wonderful stroll and a perfect picnic spot on a warm day. But if you are visiting Buxton with kids, they’ll probably want to make a beeline to one of the two fantastic playgrounds in the gardens."
"Kinder Scout is the highest point in the Peak District and is, therefore, a popular route for hikers. The walk from Edale goes up Jacob’s Ladder towards some incredible rock formations and, of course, the Kinder Low trig point. It is easy to see why it is one of the best Peak District walks because it is wild, unspoilt and a lot of fun to scramble and climb."
"Edale Village Hall Car Park - 10 minute drive from Losehill House. As the tallest peak in the Peak District, the views from the top of Kinder Scout are wide-reaching and truly beautiful. On a clear day, the city of Manchester can be seen from the plateau, as well as the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales."
"Climb up to Hen’s Cloud, go past the mysterious Doxey Pool and then across the Roaches to bag the Roaches trig!. The Roaches is a popular spot with climbers and rock enthusiasts. It is thought that wallabies (released from a zoo) roam the area, but we didn’t manage to spot any, so it may be a legend."
"The Roaches is located above Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir and is loved by hikers and climbers alike. The impressively rugged and steep gritstone ridge is home to mythical mermaids and 15 metre natural gritstone clefts."
"We spent a beautiful weekend in the Roaches and it is the best place for walking enthusiasts in the Peaks!. There are also some beautiful rock formations."
"Historic kitchen & pleasure gardens with ponds, paved pathways & a Victorian greenhouse. Address : Witherwin Avenue Grappenhall, South Warrington WA4 3DS, United Kingdom"
"Prestwich Forest Park consists of four smaller parks which make up 200 acres of woodlands: Philips Park, Drinkwater Park, Waterdale, and Prestwich. These parks can be heavily wooded (particularly Drinkwater), so it’s a beautiful place to spend a day away from the noise of town. Exploring the woods can be an enlightening experience, so long as you take care while wandering amongst the broad-leaved trees."
"It may not look like much from the outside, but inside two Victorian villas on Nelson Street you’ll find The Pankhurst Centre – a heritage site of women’s activism. Once the home of local Manchester political campaigner and icon Emmeline Pankhurst, who lived at 62 Nelson Street from 1898 to 1907, it’s here that the very first meeting of the suffragette movement took place. Cut to the present day and visitors can now drop by to explore the story of women securing the right to vote."
"An unassuming little house on Nelson Street, this spot was the birthplace of the Suffragette movement. The home of inspirational leader Emmeline Pankhurst, the first Women’s Social and Political Union meeting was held here in 1903. Nowadays, the place has been converted into a museum detailing the battle for women’s equality in Britain and celebrating its great former occupant."
"Macclesfield is in the orbit of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, founded in 1945 and part of the University of Manchester. The primary telescope at Jodrell Bank is the colossal Lovell Telescope, built in 1957 and still the third largest steerable dish radio telescope in the world, at 76.2 metres in diameter. Amateur astronomers come a long way to savour this immense structure, which along with the rest of the station has been mooted for World Heritage Status."
"Centre For Chinese Contemporary Art is a unique art gallery with a year-round programme of socially engaged exhibitions, events, and artist residencies. They have over 30 years experience of working with emerging and established artists to provide a space for conversation, debate, and cross-cultural exchange. They are the go-to place to discover new artists and explore relevant global issues from different international perspectives."
"CFCCA reopens with a duo of exhibitions investigating and unpicking themes of belonging, identity and citizenship in a globalised and hyper-connected society. Housed in CFCCA’s Northern Quarter galleries, the exhibitions are just a few minutes’ walk from the Arndale Shopping Centre. Multiplicities in Flux brings together works by contemporary artists Grace Lau and Eelyn Lee in a dialogue around identity and belonging."
"Manchester's Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art will reopen both of its galleries on Wednesday May 19. Exhibitions Multiplicities in Flux and Autopsy of a Home, which originally opened in October, will be back until June 13. Booking is advised at cfcca.org.uk but walk-ups are welcome."
"Offering up a modern take on the Victorian pub atmosphere, and with roasts of either chicken, beef sirloin or a mushroom wellington, accompanied by “all the trimmings”, served all day every Sunday, it’s not hard to see why The Bay Horse Tavern is a much-loved Northern Quarter hangout. A wide range of starters, desserts and drinks are also available alongside your choice of roast. You can find Sunday menus, more information about COVID-safe guidelines and book your table ahead of reopening via The Bay Horse Tavern website here."
"Why: This modern gastropub serves up a confidently concise menu that champions high-end produce. Tuck into a plate of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs or mushrooms on toast to kickstart your day, washing it all down with one of The Bay Horse Tavern’s ‘posh coffees’ or ‘posh teas’ which include choices like chamomile and peppermint. For those who have their feet well and truly planted in the ferment-loving-years of recent times, there’s also iced kombucha on offer here, as well as a selection of juices."
"But if you're wondering where to get breakfast in Manchester, then you have to put The Bay Horse Tavern on your list. Their breakfast classics will make you run back for more. The Bay Horse Tavern serves breakfast and brunch every day until 4 pm."
