Places to go to show off the nicest bits of Greater Manchester (outside the city centre)
Hey! I have some friends (a couple) who've visited a few times over the last few years, and last time he said he would consider moving here and she said she wouldn't want to. When I asked why she said she didn't like the city centre.
Of course I took this as a slight and something of a personal challenge, so I've started making a list of places to take them next time (that are outside of the Trinity Way/Mancunian Way/Great Ancoats Street loop, but inside the Greater Manchester border) that show how nice the region is to live in.
I wondered if you guys had any suggestions for places to go that show the best of the region outside of the city centre. Big or small; general or stupidly specific; town, suburb, street or corner!
They live in the centre of Brighton for reference, so bonus points for places that make them feel like that!
So far on the list:
- Chorlton Water Park
- Oswald Rd in Chorlton when you emerge out of the path around the school
- Fletcher Moss Rockery in late Spring
- Anita Street, walk over to Ancoats Marina
- Heaton Park
- Underbank in Stockport
