"Dating back to the 15th century, the Manchester Cathedral has experienced quite a bit of history! After Henry VIII broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, the Cathedral's riches were confiscated. During the English Civil war in the mid 17th century, pitched battles were fought inside and around the Cathedral between the Royalists (those supporting Charles I, the Stewarts, and the Anglican Church) and the Roundheads (Oliver Cromwell loyalists). Also Ann Lee, the founder of the religious movement called the Shakers interrupted services here when she lived in Manchester. The church was targeted by the Nazi Luftwaffe and received a direct head during the bombings of 1940. Yet through all this the Church maintains it's quiet dignity and beauty. It is a must see while in Manchester!"

Cultural Attractions in Manchester
"This church built in the Gothic style is a very pretty sight to see in Manchester. One of the oldest buildings in the city, it is also a historic site. The stunning design of the rustic building is reason enough to visit it but the interiors are equally beautiful and are sure to transport you back in time."

The Best Parks in Manchester
"Prestwich Forest Park consists of four smaller parks which make up 200 acres of woodlands: Philips Park, Drinkwater Park, Waterdale, and Prestwich. These parks can be heavily wooded (particularly Drinkwater), so it’s a beautiful place to spend a day away from the noise of town. Exploring the woods can be an enlightening experience, so long as you take care while wandering amongst the broad-leaved trees."

Less refined but sensational in a very different kind of way, V Rev Vegan Diner in the Northern Quarter is dirty, American-style food that you might struggle to believe is vegan.

"V Rev is one of the longest standing vegan restaurants in Manchester and the best of the best when it comes to dirty fat greasy amazingness. Always packed, always bustling (do make a reservation), the decor at V Rev Vegan Diner is great and the menu even better. I tucked into a fried doughnut burger (oh yes!), some mac n’ cheese, and mozzarella sticks, and I left a burp-y happy camper."
