The north of England is a region rich with unexpected travel adventures and opportunities that will delight your clients!

With frequent non-stop flights from the US to Manchester – the gateway to the north – this is a great time to uncover all the region has to offer. Cities such as Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and York were at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, but today are more famous for their great nightlife and culture than their factories. Outside of the cities is some of England’s most alluring countryside. The Yorkshire Dales with its famous rolling green fields, divided by drystone walls, is quintessential English countryside, while the Lake District National Park has long been a magnet for artists and poets thanks to its majestic mountains and tranquil lakes.

48 hours in Manchester

Being the birthplace of Oasis, The Smiths, Chemical Brothers and even Take That – it’s fair to say that Manchester is a music lover’s haven. And, of course, footy fans will be overjoyed when visiting the hallowed grounds of Old Trafford and cheering on Manchester United as they practise. But Manchester is more than just music and sports. There are great foodie spots, upcoming hipster areas and cultural events taking place all the time. Whatever your clients are after on their holiday, Manchester has it.

Things to do within easy reach of Manchester

Buzzing Manchester will keep your clients occupied, but if they´re keen to explore a bit further afield, impress them with this list of great things to do just outside the city. History buffs shouldn´t miss Ruthin Castle where visitors can join a night of feasting and revelry where everything, from the menu to the waiting staff, is in period style. Literature lovers will enjoy a trip to Gawthorpe Hall, where Charlotte Bronte occasionally stayed and where she supposedly created her pseudonym ‘Currer Bell’. Meanwhile, thrill seekers should check out Pendle Hill, location of the most famous witch trials in English history. The chilling tour combines the area’s terrifying history with its beautiful landscape and views. 

There's arguably no more idyllic, photogenic slice of Britain than the Lake District!

Poets, writers and artists have raved about it for centuries and when zipping along its narrow, snaking roads, past a hotchpotch of soaring peaks, emerald-green farmlands and forests, and shimmering bodies of water – or tackling its steep, twisting mountain passes – it´s easy to appreciate why it holds such a special place in the nation's heart. Awesome road-tripping territory, Lakeland – its other moniker – abounds with pit stopping possibilities. Its romantic, naturally-beautiful nooks and crannies, and quaint villages and market towns like Ambleside and Keswick are just waiting to be uncovered. Charming Grasmere provides an opportunity to enjoy afternoon tea at the old cottage abode of William Wordsworth, whose 19th century poems perhaps best evoke Lakeland's enduring magic.
