Get off the sofa, pull on your walking boots and make the most of the daylight this winter
Manchester may be an always-on modern metropolis but there are places to switch off from city living too. For some, one of Manchester’s draws is the countryside that surrounds it. With the Peak District to the east, the West Yorkshire moors to the north, and the rolling Cheshire farmland to the south, there’s no shortage of places to go for a walk near Manchester. And that’s not counting the Forest of Bowland, the Lake District, and Snowdonia – stunning areas of natural beauty that are all within day-trip distance.
Here the Confidential Guides team has whittled down this huge expanse of open countryside to 12 of our favourite spots for a hike or a stroll, within easy reach of the city. If you want more ideas, check out Ten walks by train from Manchester.
