The Region

Whatever your viewpoint Greater Manchester has something for you. From the many busy towns and cities, each with their own individual character to rugged moorland, peaceful waterways and stunning countryside, our region is rich with diversity, international flavour and incredibly friendly people. In fact, the area is a cultural hotspot with a whole host of sporting events, leisure activities, shopping centres and major attractions to enjoy.

Our geographical location is also a major attraction and offers everything that you’ll need. But if you want to look further afield, Leeds and Liverpool are only a short drive away, whilst the stunning scenery of the Lake District is conveniently close. Manchester Airport provides access to the rest of the world and London is less than an hour away by plane and just 2 hours 20 minutes away by train.

Greater Manchester offers something for everyone.
