Overview

Urban walk in Inner City Manchester. Sounds uninspiring? Think again. We travel through woods, parks, beautiful old estates, ponds and gardens and the occasional tip and mattress. Mostly level ground on good paths. We go past Elizabeth Gaskell House, through mid1800s Victoria Park in Rusholme, Birchfields Park, Platt Fields, curry mile and Whitworth Park near the MRI.
