5 days in Manchester Itinerary

Unofficially dubbed the Capital of the North, Manchester is known for its influence on industry and music, as well as its world-renowned connection to sports.

Change things up with these side-trips from Manchester: Castleton (Ridge Walk Mam Tor to Losehill & Peak Mountaineering), Alton Towers Theme Park (in Alton) and Ladybower Reservoir (in Bamford). There's lots more to do: test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms, go on a hair-raising tour with a ghost and vampire tour, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Chester Zoo, and see the interesting displays at National Football Museum.
