Chetham’s Library
Not just a place for studious types, the building and its contents are also visually compelling. But remember to keep your voice at a whisper!
Heaton Park
A boating lake, animal farm, woodlands, ornamental gardens, observatory, adventure playground, golf course and volunteer-run tramway museum. Too much choice?
Museum of Transport Greater Manchester
There's no better way to really get to know a place than by taking the bus, or car, or tram, or even coach—check out this museum's wonderful collection.
Alkrington Woods Nature Reserve
If you're lucky you might spot a few tawny owls here. Also has a good Woodland Centre for some informative fun.
Manchester Town Hall
Due to its resemblance to Westminster and Big Ben, this location has often been featured as a backdrop in movies and series, including 'The Iron Lady'.
Golden Cluster
This selection of three architectural gems feature the distinct Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau influence of their creator Edgar Wood—should not be missed.
