Manchester airport
Located in the North West of England, and 16km from the city centre there are very regular bus and rail services into the city. Possibly most famous for its football, there is so much more to Manchester with its lively bars and restaurants, and events programme. Just down the road is Alton Towers, and for those who like the outdoors the Peak District has excellent climbing, cycling and walking trails.
The Peak District is Britain's first and most popular National Park, with open moorland, attractive river valleys, picturesque villages and grand houses such as Chatsworth.
