"Opposite the Lowry on the south side of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park is one of five branches for the Imperial War Museum, opened in 2002. This remarkable building, with three interlocking metallic shards (invoking air, earth and water), was designed by Daniel Libeskind and intended to induce a feeling of disorientation apt for war. The entrance is in the 55-metre-high “air shard”, while the permanent exhibition is on the first floor in the “earth shard”."

"The motto of the People’s History Museum is “ideas have always been worth fighting for”. With political objects, the museum has managed to show all the struggles for equality in the country within the last 200 years. If you are interested in politics, you will find many posters, slogans, cartoons describing the radical fights for freedom."

As with the best municipal museums, the collection is a big jumble of local industrial artefacts, Egyptology, Roman archaeology, coins, ethnographic displays, items from the Civil War and zoological and botanical specimens."

"A tremendous mixture of styles, Adlington Hall was founded at the end of the 15th century and then reworked in the 18th century. So while the north and east facades have romantic black and white timber framing the south and west wings are brick built, with a solemn Palladian portico. Adlington is hired out for weddings, but on Sundays between April and October the house and gardens are open to visitors."

"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."
