There’s nothing quite like being by the water when the sun’s out. Despite the fact Manchester doesn’t have a beach - as the famous Ian Brown quote goes - we do have more than our fair share of canals, reservoirs and rivers.
Throughout Greater Manchester there are beautiful waterside walks, each one offering something a bit different. You can take your pick from huge reservoirs nestled in moorland to rivers flowers through woodland.
Going for a walk beside the water is a great way to boost your mood and and helps you to unwind. Water is known for having a calming effect, whether it's listening to the sound of babbling brook or watching the sun’s rays glistening on the surface of the water.
