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.
