Welcome to Greater Manchester

There are very few places in the country that can come anywhere close to Greater Manchester in terms of the sheer variety that is available to its residents.

Variety of what exactly? Well, just about anything you can think of. Comprising of 10 distinct boroughs – including the likes of Manchester, Salford, Wigan, Stockport, Bolton and several more – each one of these areas has more than enough to keep a person content for a lifetime. When you put them all together, you have a true feast of spectacular sights, entertainment and opportunities.

This includes incredible architecture like the John Rylands Library, the Manchester Cathedral and the charming buildings found throughout Albert. There’s also places of astonishing natural beauty such as Heaton Park, Dovestone Reservoir and, of course, the unmistakable and irreplaceable Peak District.

As beautiful and just as interesting are the many historic buildings and galleries which celebrate the past while looking forward to the future. Just take a trip to the IWM North, Manchester Art Gallery or the Science and Industry Museum. And all these remarkable examples barely even scratch the surface of what can be found within this one-of-a-kind county.

We haven’t even mentioned the rich sporting history for which Greater Manchester is so well known, or its place as arguably the greatest foodie scene in the north. All this also comes with wonderful educational and employment options. This means that people with all different skill sets can live and prosper here while continuing to create a county that prides itself on being so many things to so many people.

Getting to grips with all the fantastic assets that Greater Manchester has to offer would take a lifetime to even attempt. It’s this variety which makes it the perfect place to call home.
