Trees, flowers and Manchester city centre green spaces tour
Product details
This walking tour reveals the surprising abundance of parks, gardens, canals and rivers that wind through central Manchester and Salford. From Parsonage Gardens and the Glade of Light to St John’s Gardens and the striking Deansgate Square, discover both historic green spaces and modern urban oases.
Many of these locations have fascinating backstories — former graveyards, recent redevelopments, and places shaped by the city's rapid industrial growth. Despite Manchester’s gritty industrial roots, its pocket parks, waterways, and regenerated spaces offer beauty, tranquillity, and insight into the city's evolving landscape.
Whether it’s old wharfsides or new viaduct gardens, this tour highlights the rich variety of Manchester’s ‘green’ and ‘blue’ assets, all with a tale to tell.
