St Abbs Harbour

Cultural landmark

👍👍 Such a lovely little harbour village! I visited after opening hours for any cafes. I just wanted to see the Thor house. But I stayed and watched the ocean for a while as it was a sunny day. I’d come again as they offer a lot of activities at the harbour.

Levenshulme Waterfall

Tourist attraction

👍👍 This beautiful display of water at work is truly a gem of Manchester and the pride of Levenshulme. The Fallowfield brook is a lovely brook to take a stroll along and the waterfall is always a highlight of such a trip. Unfortunately the waterfall does suffer in the terrible droughts often struck on t...

Aviva Studios, home of Factory International

👍 Not sure about external architecture styling but it has a fantastic internal space. Capable of being configured to host the most exciting of exhibitions. Will bring some fantastic shows/events and put manchester on the international arts circuit.

Brindleyplace

Cultural landmark

👍👍 It's really nice to walk around this area, such a happening place. I was in Birmingham with family for Easter weekend, had a walkthrough after visiting sealife centre on Friday, unfortunately missed the last boat ride. Came back again on Sunday walked all over this place, got onto a board ride with...

Monton Lighthouse

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Very unusual but an excellent, quirky local landmark! Can't go inside as it is private property, but the Bridgewater Canal is lovely along this stretch towards Worsley and you can get some great views of lighthouse from the towpath. You can see the top of it from the road if you're driving past.

4.30 (80 reviews) (~60.64 km from centre)

Apethorpe Palace

Manor house

👍👍 This is now a privately owned property and the owner very kindly allow limited numbers of visitors to tour ( accompanied by a guide ) at a cost - which we didn't find too excessive. The palace is undergoing restoration - and the upper floor looks like it's just been painted in Farrow and Ball histor...

Theydon Bois Earthwork

Cultural landmark

😐 View of London is amazing. You can hear the motorway but it's not overpowering, the earthworks website mentions it's covered in trees up to two Meters tall. Seems that never happened as it is all covered in grass. You can just about make out the grooves but the grass in them it's nearly add Tall...
