Nature and Parks in Manchester

"Take a 20-minute train ride northeast from Manchester Victoria to Smithy Bridge station and find a seaside substitute in the form of Hollingworth Lake. If you’re inclined to be energetic, activities like canoeing and windsurfing can be done through the Link4Life center — but the walk around the reservoir is also an easy and pleasant 2.5 miles. It’s a charming place that was once thought of as the “weavers’ seaport” because it was a quick getaway for local workers who didn’t have the cash to reach the seaside. There’s even a little fish and chip shop, an ice cream parlor, and an amusement arcade for an authentically English holiday experience." - MATADOR_NETWORK
