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.

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.

The Grade II listed Cathedral Church of St John the Evangelist, Salford. The mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford. A sanctuary in the city. Come an see the beauty of our mother church.

No matter you are a Catholic Christian or not, I am sure you will feel peaceful and blessed when you visit this Cathedral. You will also be impressed by its historical building and the solemn church altar. Don't miss the opportunity to pray in the church and share your secrecy with God.

Beautiful winter garden with snowdrops early daffodils witchhazel and the most fabulous fragrant Daphne. Estate walks with deer and squirrels. Good for dogs on leads but sadly not in garden.

Carved into the natural sandstone cliffs, the intriguing network of underground tunnels offers visitors an unparalleled insight into life in wartime Britain in the 1940's. Visitors have the opportunity of learning about the experiences of local people during the war from the displays in the tunnels and from the state-of -the-art audio-guides and to find mementos of the 1940's in our shop.

Reviewed By Andrew-Leakey - Leigh, United Kingdom
Great walk up from Ramsbottom station. Dog leading the way. Wet and wild at the top. With this great dark tower looking over the moor. V impressive. Amazing views out to Manchester City centre before the weather closed in. Well worth a visit. Legend has it the tower is occasionally open and you can climb the steps to the top. Will be good to do that post covid !!

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.
