Must See
Nearby Manchester offers some of Britain's best shopping. Manchester Arndale mall has over 200 outlets and can be reached in 20 minutes by train. The intu Trafford Centre is a 20-minute drive away and even larger. Not only are there 280 shops to explore, but it’s also home to a huge international food court, a 20-screen cinema, and the SEA LIFE Manchester aquarium is only 10 minutes’ walk away.
Must Do
The Stockport region has lots to offer sports fans. You can tour Manchester City's Etihad Stadium and Old Trafford football and cricket grounds, home to Manchester United and Lancashire Cricket Club respectively. They’re all around 25 minutes from the hotel by car. In central Manchester, the National Football Museum houses 140,000 objects celebrating 150 years of the sport, and entry is free.
Don't Go Home Without
Stockport lies within easy reach of the Peak District National Park, which has some of England's most beautiful countryside. The photogenic village of Edale is only 20 miles from the hotel, at the southern end of the 267-mile Pennine Way hiking trail. But don't worry: you don't have to walk very far into the hills to enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the lush green landscape.
Smart Tips
Take some time to discover Stockport’s history. You can learn about life in 1940s wartime Britain at the Stockport Air Raid Shelters, a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Five minutes’ walk away, the Hat Works is a museum in a Victorian mill that recreates Stockport's heritage as a hat-making town. If you have kids with you, there’s an interactive Family Fun Zone where they get a chance to dress up.
