"Standing proud since 1421 when Henry V signed a royal charter granting permission for a collegiate church to be built, the iconic Manchester Cathedral has survived world wars, bombings and the industrial revolution first hand.

If you want to learn more about the building there are guided tours every day at 11 am and 2 pm Monday to Saturday."

"Dating back to 1215, Manchester Cathedral offers a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The official name is actually “The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George” and is one amazing sight that needs to be seen in the city. It’s well worth a wander around to see the gorgeous architecture, especially as it has been so well preserved."

"As industrial as the city may be, even Manchester needs a few beautiful churches. Possibly the most impressive of them all is Manchester Cathedral. Over five hundred years old, the building is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside."

"Voted the best park in the UK in 2019, the 390-acre Stanley Park is a Blackpool landmark with a blend of landscape design, historical buildings, gardens and activities, with an abundance of wildlife, nature trails and horticultural gems.

"A respite from Blackpool’s glossy entertainment and arcades, the resort’s largest park is in 260 acres, a mile east of the promenade. The man behind the park’s design in the 1920s was the landscape architect Thomas Mawson, and he was responsible for a couple of the buildings. The most striking is the cafe, in an Art Deco style and overlooking the Italian Garden, adorned with statues (see the two Medici lions) and a beautiful marble fountain."

"For those tired out by the endless entertainment Blackpool has to offer, Stanley Park – the town’s major park – is the perfect spot to spend a more sedate day.

The area is also home to sports centres, golf courses, a cricket ground, boat hire, an art deco cafe, a skate park and crazy golf."

"Home to over 2000 marine creatures, this is another worthy visit – especially on a rainy day. You and the family can enjoy the aquarium zones, from the small creatures of the Rock Pools, to those of the Atlantic Depths and the fish of the Quayside.
