Travel Tips

It depends what you like, who you're with and how long you'll be there, but...here's some suggestions:
-Manchester city centre or Trafford Centre for shopping
-Urbis...it has a museum which isn't that great, but the building is fantastic and the shop is good.
-Old Trafford football ground....even if you're not a fan the tour and museum are good to do....it's such a famous place.
-There's lot's of lovely countryside around Manchester, try Alderley Edge, Peak district, Buxton to start :)
- Chester and its zoo
- The B in the bang sculpture up near the new manchester City Fc ground is a must see.....it's amazing!!!
-Jodrel bank.....it is a giant telescope in the countryside nr Knutsford
Hope these ideas help :)
