If it wasn't for the cars, you could easily believe you were back in the 1700s! I discovered the settlement when I was a teenager and decades later I'm still fascinated by it. The architecture is stunning and the church is a 'must visit', as it's absolutely beautiful. It must have been hard to maintain those buildings, so many thanks to those committed individuals who possessed the will to do it.

This is a fabulous place to stroll along when the weather is OK - but it can get windy. If the weather isn't OK, then it's a fabulous place to drive to because the journey takes you over some bleak but beautiful moorland. Presuming you DO take a walk, then once your legs are tired, you need to drive to Hebden Bridge for a coffee/pint and a bite to eat because there's NOTHING at the Edge itself !
4. Manchester Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,384 reviews
Manchester Cathedral has been centre stage in its city’s history for nearly 600 years. In 1421 Henry V signed a royal charter granting permission for a collegiate church to be built. In 1847 a new Manchester diocese was created and this historic church became a Cathedral. The doors are open 7 days a week and the admission is free. Do not miss one of the most interesting churches in the land at the heart of one of the most exciting cities on Earth.

Very interesting, impressive building. Worth a visit to immerse yourself in the quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
5. Manchester Town Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,520 reviews
This place is temporarily closed. This neo-Gothic masterpiece was designed by Alfred Waterhouse and completed in 1887. At the front main entrance sits a statue of the Roman Governor, Agricola, founder of the original fort of Mamuciam, from which the city began. The building dominates Albert Square.

A magnificent building from a time when civic buildings made a statement and architecture from a time when elegance was the driving factor. This impressive building, dominates the attractive Albert Square. Unfortunately due to renovation it will be a while before the main hall is open again to the public. I am told it is not to be miseed.

An amazing feat of engineering that is a fantastic reminder of the history of the Bridgewater Canal and also the man made Manchester Ship canal. A must visit. Walk up to the aqueduct on the Trafford park side and marvel at the view of the two bridges and canals.
7. Marple Locks

This spectacular flight of sixteen working locks - surrounded by some beautiful wooded countryside and scenic walks - raises the canal 209 feet to reach a height of 518 feet above sea level at Marple.

Reviewed By FarAway802113 - Manchester, United Kingdom
Since the Bankers caused such chaos and we baled them out most large town libraries have gone part time with unmanned access and little in the way of jobs for librarians.Community Libraries stood no chance with many closing.After all why educate people as they will then be more aware of how they are being manipulated ? How refreshing to see a modern busy bustling library.Although I live in a neighboroughing Borough,which has been hammered by Tory Policies,I,m glad to report there is no such evidence of Austerity in the City Library.This is what Libraries should be like.No shush we're reading as a party of Primary school pupils came with their packed lunches.It was easy for me to join and a helpful member of staff admitted the screens were temperamental so helped me with the application on the touchscreen.I was soon delving into my family history alongside a volunteer.There are banks of computers along with books and archives.A top class facility befitting the splendid Victorian Architecture.Modern Manchester,up to date with a glance back at our history.
9. MediaCityUK

There is never a dull day at MediaCityUK. Atmosphere is central to the MediaCityUK ethos and with a host of cultural and sporting attractions, cinemas, world class events, shopping, an abundance of bars and restaurants and a diversity of people living and working here - atmosphere is certainly something that is never lacking. MediaCityUK is Manchester's newest destination and we love working with our neighbours and business brands to bring innovative events and activities to our community.
