Lovely little pocket of restaurants and bars in a happy, well looked-after area of Manchester.

The parks are very enjoyable when hungover the morning after, before a bacon sandwich in one of the many coffee shops.

Newly created tranquil haven bounded by the cathedral, Chetham’s school of music and Urbis, a striking new blue glass ski-slope housing Manchester’s museum of the city. Ideal for a lunchtime sandwich and a good book. Further out: Fletcher Moss Gardens in Didsbury, famed for rare and unusual plants.
