Other Activities

• Afternoon trip to the Peak District?

Trip to the Peak District

Could maybe go to the Peaks on the last afternoon. Edale might be one possibility:

• Trains are 45 minutes from Manchester Picadilly (£11.30 return). Hiring a bus could be an alternative.

• The Rambler Inn is a big pub that's very close to the train station.
