Here in Greater Manchester we're very lucky to be surrounded on pretty much all sides by some of the UK's most stunning countryside. But if you know where to look there's plenty of places much closer to home where it's just as easy to get away from it all.
They may not have the majesty of Helvellyn or the sweeping views of Kinder Scout, but the rugged edges of Greater Manchester tell a unique story about our city all of their own.
And in our eyes at least they're all the better for it.
