Why travel to Manchester from Hereford?

There’s so much going on in Manchester that it can be hard to know where to start. Numerous attractions, with a rich, colourful culture means there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 

Castlefield, with its impressive Roman Fort, is a good place to begin. Its impressive canals hark back to Manchester’s industrial past, while modern bars, restaurants and quaint independent retail boutiques line the streets.  A stunning place to explore and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, or just sit and take in the sights, Manchester is justifiably proud of this redesigned part of the city.

Head for one of the many galleries, which include the Manchester Art Gallery. With an eclectic programme of events and exhibitions, as well as workshops and classes, this is a must-see attraction. For a fully immersive experience, the Science and Industry Museum should be next on your list. For more family-friendly fun, Play Factore and Legoland Discovery Centre will keep the little ones busy.

Make sure you stop at the Blue Planet Aquarium, where you can watch Europe’s largest collection of sharks, and maybe have the chance to dive with them. With the diver’s demonstrations, and pelican and ray feeding, there’s hands-on excitement for everyone. At the same time, the adrenaline junkies will love the ski slope and the thrilling challenge of the Crystal Maze Experience.

Manchester wouldn’t be Manchester without football, and to top the day off, how about a tour of the world-famous Old Trafford Stadium or the National Football Museum?
