Imperial War Museum North

Purpose-built to tell powerful stories of over a century of conflict, IWM North makes full use of its extraordinary exhibition space to deliver a moving and immersive experience.

Reviewed By BarryC732 - Chorley, United Kingdom

Set in Salford Quays the IWM North is a modern museum exhibiting different aspects and effects of war. During our visit the theme was "Less we Forget", showing exhibits and films of WW1. The museum was well laid out and provided a thought provoking experience for us all. Entrance is free and a pay car park is situated next to the museum. The museum includes a shop and a cafe. The displays are changed regularly so well worth repeated visits. It is staffed by volunteers who are very helpful and will answer any queries.

Worthington Park

Reviewed By catherinee46 - Sale, United Kingdom

Lovely little park, busy with dog walkers and families with children. Just how it should be. Plenty of picnic areas with seating, lovely bowling green, outdoor exercise equipment. Only minor issue is if it’s been raining heavily, pathways get completely flooded. I was past my ankles in water during the last heavy rainfall. All in all, a lovely park which I frequent regularly.
