Visitors will be able to flock to Manchester's new skyline park from the end of this month, the National Trust has announced.
The Castlefield Viaduct park will open to members of the public from Saturday 30 July, just five months after work began on the historic steel structure. The park will remain open for 12 months, during which time visitors can explore part of the viaduct and find out more about the viaduct’s heritage, the city’s long relationship with plants and trees and learn urban gardening tips.
Speaking ahead of today's preview event, Hilary McGrady, Director-General of the National Trust, called the day an "incredibly exciting" realisation of a "long-term vision".
