Fairfield Moravian Settlement

Reviewed By ronp901 - Manchester, United Kingdom

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.

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.

Reviewed By georgetF4032FZ

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.

Stamford Park

Reviewed By Z9899GIsamanthaw

My husband and I took my friend's 3yr old last week and we all had a great time. The park is clean and tidy, children's play area has plenty of things to go on. The cafe is a nice place to relax. Ice cream van near the play area was good. Swans on the lake at this time of year was nice to see. Will definitely visit again, maybe when it's a bit warmer!!

Hartshead Pike Tower

Reviewed By denewton - Manchester, United Kingdom

Lovely sunny day and a worthwhile climb to the top where you could really see for miles around. we'd parked up in Mossley and it still did not take very long to get up there. Interesting that others have complained about litter and suggested that a bin be provided. I'd suggest that those ignorant litter louts stay at home !

The Farm Shop  at Lymefield Garden Centre

Reviewed By L9440LNjulies - Dorchester, United Kingdom

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.

Reviewed By FrankG1955 - Manchester, United Kingdom

Great local park. The size is not apparrent as you approach. Wonderful natural woodland, unspoilt and allowed to develop as nature intended. Quite a climb up the hill but well worth it.

Pub crawl with a difference. Great selection of real ales, a bit of walking and an opportunity to see lots of folk as well oiled as oneself. Nice concept if rather less than healthy!
