Potato Wharf, Castlefield, Manchester

Greater Manchester makes a great day out with its bustling shopping streets, regenerated docks, museums and galleries.

Although famed for cotton mills and the career of David Beckham, Manchester has far more to offer. City lovers can entertain themselves from dawn until dusk with the urban delights of Salford Quays, Castleford and Canal Street.

For those wanting to get away from it all, towns like Chadderton and Littleborough offer a interesting day out on the canal with quaint pubs and riverside buildings steeped in industrial history.
