Outdoor travel in Manchester

“If you like lake or that kind of water body, This place is a beauty. So serene. We picked some wild blackberries too.”

“Went after the footy match and wow, it was certainly worth the wait. I opted for the Tokyo bowl. Chicken Katsy curry, rice, crispy seasoned chips, and a couple veggie spring rolls with a spicy/sweet dipping sauce. The rolls were lovely and crisp, but the dipping sauce really made them pop. The fried we great, esp when you dipped them in the Katsy curry. The chicken was well seasoned and had a nice crispy exterior. The only issue I have is there was hardly enough Katsy curry, so I had to order an additional pot! Please put a little extra curry on the dish guys! Nonetheless, reasonably priced and tastes great!”

“Simply the best food I've ever had. The welcome I get when I visit makes me feel welcome and appreciated. I honestly can't imagine I would eat elsewhere again. I'm due to move out of oldham soon but I will travelling to Glodwick Chippy to buy my takeaway thanks to everyone there. Sarah”

“Easy to get car slot and travel to Manchester city center.”

“Highfield Country Park worth visit & must visit to keep a park. In 2017, plans for redeveloping an area of Highfield Country Park were passed by Manchester Council. Friends of Highfield Country Park objected to this decision but were overruled. The park is suitable for all the family to go there for a good time picnics, walk, cycling and to explore the park. Probably you need a few visits to cover the whole park.”

“Hard to review a patch of grass next to the footie museum...but it held the food festival today. Lots of interesting stalls from Eritrean to Brazil etc. Two real ale bars. Had a good time. OK prices. Deposits on plastic pint pots but not plastic wine glasses. A few years ago the SS litter patrol fined a friends daughter for..taking a selfie! ...They stood up to take the pic and left their Coke can unattended for 30 secs.”

“Amazing! Great vibe, attentive staff and top notch food with wide cocktail and vegetarian range. Lovely floral interior with plenty of comfy booth areas. Personal touch from Chef Muks to ask how everything was at table.”

“Really enjoyed our visit on a Sunday, managed to book online easily, parking was available. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the food came in a very reasonable time, great value and cooked to a very good standard. The children's menu offered choice and well-sized portions. Highly recommended!”

“New landlady and bar team are amazing, traditional fronted pub with a modern twist inside and secluded beer garden. Entertainment and pub games a plenty most weekends and special events to mark bank hol weekends and sporting fixtures. What more can Stockport want, see you all again soon.”

“Very friendly staff - manager let me use the toilet when in need despite it being a ticketed event - cannot thank him enough”

“Dart Board, Cheap Drinks, Friendly, Relaxed atmosphere. Feels like you’re at home. Sun trap beer garden. Joanna is an amazing land lady!! Quiz’s and live music 1-2 time a month too. Love this pub!!”

“My daughters wedding was fantastic, right from A.J. picking us up in the white Rolls from the local village. The venue is fabulous the food was excellent, A.J. & family & all their staff went out off their way to make the day perfect. To round the day off we stayed in one of their beautiful rooms overnight followed by a fantastic breakfast. Not one guest had anything bad to say about the day, i would recommend this place to anyone.”

“This is a very well located pub/hotel for visiting Glossop main street and the surrounding countryside. The room was a good size, recently decorated, with a good bathroom. We didn't eat there, but the menu looked good. Breakfast was also available from 9.00am. The room and the food were very reasonably priced. Very nice helpful staff which made for an enjoyable stay.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Navigation Inn. Great food and choice of cask ales. Located a short walk along canal path to Whaley Bridge, and 3 miles along canal path to New Mills. Recommend lamb shank and beef hot pot with extra chunky fries which we had (see photos) ..No need for chips on the way home after that. Very warm and cosy traditional friendly atmosphere with low ceilings. Choice of 4 cask ales, including Timothy Taylor..See photos. B&B :- Four poster room very nice with new spacious ensuit shower. Stairs and landing work in progress re decorating but this didn't change our enjoyment in the slightest :) Breakfast amazing with all the usual choices cooked really well and any variation in menu not to much trouble. Will definitely return.”

“The best pub in Prestwich, a haven next to the church, a nice interior, with many separate drinking areas to choose from.”

“Beautiful setting and lovely spa! We’ve booked a Black Friday deal a couple of times and it’s been wonderful. I’ve also been on a hen weekend. The food is amazing and the facilities are great. Lots to do and see in the grounds. The spa is well equipped and the outdoor hydro pool is just incredible.”
