Open Details
The old manor is a beautiful corner of almost untouched nature with a park, garden and ancestral palace of the Counts of Stamford. The history of the estate begins in 1616 with the construction of the first palace. He stood in the same place as the present, but he looked entirely different. The last restructuring dates back to the years 1905-1908.
In the manor park of Dunham Massey there are oaks planted in the 17th century. This is the only park in the north-west of England with so many ancient trees. Fallow deer live here - park workers regularly feed these cute animals, and they have almost no fear of people. Park staff conduct daily excursions around the palace and garden. On the estate, in the old premises of the former stables, there is a gift shop and a restaurant.

National Trust - Quarry Bank
Open Details
The gloomy architecture of Quarry Bank Mill is complemented by the appropriate filling. Today it is a cotton factory, originally from 1784 to 1832, the mill with the largest wheel in the UK. The exposition begins with the fact that they tell and clearly show how they spin and weave by hand. At the factory, all equipment is restored and is in working condition: the water wheel is spinning, the machines are making threads, spinning, weaving, etc. National Trust employees demonstrate visually the entire process to visitors.
It is interesting that the owner was allowed to build the factory only with the condition that not a single tree would suffer. I had to get out, dodge and deceive because something still had to be cut down, he says. The castle is teeming with ghosts. When it was erected, a team of builders died, so the whole team remained in the castle.

Mackie Mayor
Open Details
Review from the visitor: "Mackie Mayor is one of Manchester’s newest openings, but it’s quickly become my favourite place to hang out and take visitors. Its grand location is inside a Grade II listed former meat market. The stunning interior, under a gigantic glass roof, features long, sociable tables surrounded by a variety of street food vendors.
I like to go for coffee in a morning, snacks at lunchtime and dinner and drinks in the evening – it’s one of the most versatile places in the city. There are lots of food and drink options to suit all tastes and budgets – I like Wolf House Coffee for their flat whites and delicious selection of cakes; Tender Cow’s mouthwatering steaks; and Blackjack’s extensive selection of beers. It gets super busy pretty much all day, so head down early to avoid disappointment!".
Open Hours: Tuesday - Friday: 11:00 - 22:00 Saturday: 09:00 - 22:00 Sunday: 09:00 - 18:00 Monday: closed
