Check out our favourite walks less than 2 hours away from Manchester…
Manchester: the heart of everything. From our amazing people to the beautiful buildings and unrivalled culture, we have lots to shout about here in the world’s greatest region.
But all the things that make our city so great, make us appreciate being able to escape every so often even more. And what better way to do just that than spending the day in the wide open.
Whether it's a quiet hillside stroll or strenuous mountain hike, nothing quite blows those cobwebs away like a few hours up on the moors. And with the Peak District right on Manchester’s doorstep, accessing stunning scenery and dramatic views may not be as hard as you think.
We've rounded up some beautiful walking spots found on the borders of our region, proving that you don't have to travel too far from your local area to spend time in the great outdoors.
