Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Werneth Low

"Dating back to the 15th century, the Manchester Cathedral has experienced quite a bit of history! After Henry VIII broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, the Cathedral's riches were confiscated. During the English Civil war in the mid 17th century, pitched battles were fought inside and around the Cathedral between the Royalists (those supporting Charles I, the Stewarts, and the Anglican Church) and the Roundheads (Oliver Cromwell loyalists). Also Ann Lee, the founder of the religious movement called the Shakers interrupted services here when she lived in Manchester. The church was targeted by the Nazi Luftwaffe and received a direct head during the bombings of 1940. Yet through all this the Church maintains it's quiet dignity and beauty. It is a must see while in Manchester!"

"One of Manchester’s oldest buildings, the cathedral is a must-see for anyone with an interest in architecture. Wander around at your own pace, book onto a tour to find out more about the building’s history or keep your eyes peeled for news of one of the occasional gigs hosted inside the cathedral."

"As industrial as the city may be, even Manchester needs a few beautiful churches. Possibly the most impressive of them all is Manchester Cathedral. Over five hundred years old, the building is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside."

"Bess of Hardwick who you’ve just read about above had a son and it was her son William Cavendish who built Chatsworth.

In fact, The Hunting Tower which stands on the hill above Chatsworth till this day and is available to hire out as a holiday let, was built by Bess back in the 1580s."

"A beautiful stately home nestled amongst the Peak District National Park, Chatsworth House offers an awe-inspiring and educational visit for all ages.

"Endcliffe Park is located just between Hallam and Uni of campuses, making it a great place for students to meet. The nearby Ecclesall Road has loads of independent restaurants and cafes to choose from, including the vegan Pom Kitchen, which is now selling picnic boxes so that you can share a boujee picnic with your mates. The park itself is lovely and often packed with cute dogs on a sunny afternoon, just be careful they don’t steal your sandwiches."

"Dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, Sheffield Cathedral stands on the site of a parish church founded in 1100. The new church, built in late-Gothic Perpendicular style, replaced it in the mid-15th century (only the choir and the tower remain, and the nave was built in the late 18th century). When Sheffield became the see of a bishop in 1914, plans were afoot to make the present nave the transept of a new and much larger church."

"It is on the eastern side of the centre of Glossop and fringes onto the Conservation Area of Old Glossop. There is a car park at Corn Mill and on-street parking is available nearby. Again, it's not technically a theme park, but with this much going on for free, it deserves a mention."
