Manchester is the economic and cultural centre of North West area of England and is large enough to have everything a large city is expected to whilst also being small enough to get out of quickly into some of the most beautiful countryside and towns and villages that the UK has to offer from the Roman/Viking towns of Chester and York to the National Parks of “The Lake District” and “The Peak District” to name just a few that are accessible by train within an hour or two.

Manchester also has a large international airport beaten in size and number of destinations by only 2 of London’s airports and offers access directly to destinations around the world, especially Europe and the USA.
