Plan your trip from Manchester
There’s much to see in Manchester, from the 2.8-hectare Museum of Science and Industry in the city’s 19th-century heartland, to Old Trafford – home to the world's most famous football club. Visitors can tour the stands, the players' lounge and walk down the tunnel to the pitch-side dugout.Beyond Manchester
Motor east for the mill towns and rocky beauty of the Peak District National Park or head north from Manchester for the Minsters and small town charm of Yorkshire, Wordsworth country amidst the idyllic Lake District or the sparsely populated, eerily ascetic Northumberland coast.
Drive south to drop in on Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, before hitting the tearoom-filled villages of the Cotswolds and the ancient academy towns of Oxford. Further south, take in Bath, a spa destination since Celtic times, or cross into Wales for the second-hand bookshop capital of the world, Hay-on-Wye, or Swansea’s sublime, sandy neighbour Rhossili.
