Manchester Canals and Rivers urban walk

14 places left
Following the waterways of the industrial revolution this walk provides a mix of industrial urban landscapes, open greenbelt and nature reserves. The walk is 15.5km, pretty flat and even includes a pub stop on the way. We'll head out from the city centre using only towpaths and bridleways to reach Didsbury where we'll return to the start using the Metrolink tram.
