If it wasn't for the cars, you could easily believe you were back in the 1700s! I discovered the settlement when I was a teenager and decades later I'm still fascinated by it. The architecture is stunning and the church is a 'must visit', as it's absolutely beautiful. It must have been hard to maintain those buildings, so many thanks to those committed individuals who possessed the will to do it.

My friends and I here in America played the virtual version of The Exorcist room and were completely impressed. Highly recommend! Gameplay went as smoothly as butter. Players have a host and a cameraman to guide them through the puzzles. Unlike your standard IRL rooms where the hosts are part-timers who mostly work behind the scenes, these guys are clearly immaculate professionals with a performance background. After our session, we talked about how James' experience as a magician helped him create the special effects. He even took a demonology course so he could sound more knowledgeable when answering player questions. Apparently, the actual Crowley manor is located nearby the escape room, which explains the ER's attention to historical detail. Now, I will say that my friend group are savvy escape room enthusiasts and we only got out with 17 sec to spare. The puzzles aren't particularly hard, but finding the clues and talking with the host slows things down (not in a bad way, though!). This just means newbie escapers might not win the game, although I think they'll still enjoy it immensely. And maybe I'm wrong. The host was a total pro and it's possible he'd provide more hints to newbies that would help push things along faster.
3. Portland Basin Museum

Portland Basin Museum is housed within the restored nineteenth century Ashton Canal Warehouse in Ashton-under-Lyne. The museum combines a lively modern interior with a peaceful canal side setting. It is an exciting family friendly museum, with something for all the family.

A huge former canal warehouse at the junction of the Ashton, Peak Forest and Huddersfield Canals, with the two lower floors used as a Museum, with accommodation above (I think). A replica street scene, with reconstructed houses, a pub, schoolroom, chapel and shops, plus tableaux on mining, the canals, local transport, hatting and gloving, and other local industries. Access to the canal side, with open air seating to complement the very pleasant tea room and a chance to watch boats passing by. Plus a good souvenir shop and helpful and friendly staff.

We visited to pick up a picnic lunch. We were really amazed at the quality of the products. Eventually decided on fresh veggie quiche and the most delicious ginger cake, together with a coffee each. The coffee was definitely not bland, as per a previous old post. We browsed the plants, prior to our purchase, and were pleasantly surprised. Considering they were probably mobbed after the lockdown, they still had a reasonable amount of quality stock. Lastly, the staff, who were friendly and appeared to genuinely want to provide a service. We look forward to another visit soon, when the cafe is open.
