Although considered a very urban, industrial city, it’s pleasing to know that there’s a plethora of Manchester parks to escape to. When in the city, take a 10-minute sightseeing break in the centrally located Piccadilly Gardens. For a greener day, explore the many British woodlands in Wythenshawe Park.  Many green spaces have marked-out paths and walkways too. As well as keeping you active on your holiday, they’re a great way to see the historical sites and buildings within the grounds. From tramway museums to community lakes and heritage buildings, each location has its own story to tell.
