As a gateway to Northern England, Manchester is a superb base for exploring the region's fascinating heritage. Explore the Roman city of Chester, the Viking streets of York or the Royal streets of Lancaster.
For more recent history, visit Liverpool with its old docks, sites where the Beatles made musical history and its range of listed buildings, museums, galleries and theatres that have given it the accolade of European Capital of Culture, 2008.
Or drop in on Preston, the region's newest city with its brilliant National Museum of Football.

The magical Lake District and Peak District are both national parks. Much of them remain untouched wildernesses and although popular, it's always easy to leave the crowds behind and admire the spectacular views and quaint towns and villages.
Immediately beyond the borders of Manchester there are also more than 500 square miles of inspiring countryside, crisscrossed by historical waterways and dotted with fascinating attractions that make for great, relaxing days out.
