10 Best Breweries in Eccles

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"National Trust Car Park - 15 minute drive from Losehill House. Known as the “shivering mountain”, Mam Tor stands over the village of Castleton, with the aforementioned caves at its base. The rolling hills that embrace Castleton and Losehill House, including Lose Hill and Win Hill, are what makes this view so special, and many choose to reach the summit as the sun rises for a magical early morning experience."

"The Mam Tor Walk is one of the top 10 UK walks, offering views over Hope Valley from the sensational ‘Mother Hill’ or ‘Shivering Mountain’. For this reason, it can be bustling, so aim to get there as early as possible and avoid weekends if you can. It is a family-friendly walk and a popular sunrise spot because it is accessible from the car park."
