As summer gets underway, what better chance is there than to visit somewhere new? Manchester is surrounded by its own natural beauty, including in local parks and further out in the countryside.

On this route, people tend to go via at Jacob's Ladder, a bridleway between Kinder Scout and the hamlet of Upper Booth. From here, you can see the rolling hills of the vale of Edale. The full walk can take between eight and 10 miles, depending on which way you go.
