Stone cottages, endless views... the hidden Mancunian gem so gorgeous no one wants to leave

Nestled on the slopes of Holcombe Moor, just west of Ramsbottom lies the stunning village of Holcombe. Stone cottages, endless moors and hills, a local pub dating back to 1751 - Holcombe has bags of Great British charm.

The village is surrounded by land preserved by the National Trust and the whole village is largely unspoiled. It's home to the Shoulder of Mutton pub as well as stunning views of the countryside.

Enveloped in green land against the backdrop of the seemingly endless moors and hills, it's hard to believe this little settlement is in Greater Manchester.
