Everywhere is interesting if you take the time to explore. Follow your curiosity, and you are bound to discover something.
I am a huge fan of wandering and enjoy getting lost. I follow my nose and find the things that I like to investigate. Be it a concrete substation, a mound of trees or a couple of ginnels waiting for me to walk through them. I share some of the more offbeat, overlooked places I visit and some popular destinations on this website. I hope you’ll enjoy the small things with me.

If you fancy a bit of a change and are looking for a day trip or two outside of the great city of Manchester then check out my 5 day trips from Manchester by train round-up. Not only do you get to escape Manchester for the day, but you get to enjoy a train ride and time exploring somewhere else.
