One of the positives to come out of the current pandemic is that we really have been able to appreciate the wonder of the outdoor spaces right on our doorsteps.
For many of us, our daily exercise has allowed us to discover the vast parks, wooded areas and valleys near to us that we never knew existed before.
With that in mind and as the weather starts to really shine, we thought it was time to look at just some of the best beauty spots situated in and around Manchester.
While on site tourist centres and shops will be closed, the outdoor areas of these woodlands and parks can all be visited by local residents as part of their daily exercise.
