Sightseeing and Spires? The Best UK City Breaks
So what are some of the spots that you should be considering? Well allow me to divulge. Mad for Manchester The UK’s second city (or third depending who you ask) is becoming a destination that in a lot of aspects is rivaling London. In terms of sporting hotspots, there is Manchester United’s historical Old Trafford, as well as more modern Etihad Stadium of Manchester City. But if you’re more of a cricket kind of guy, then Lancashire Cricket Club also have a home called Old Trafford, this one being a cricket ground, which is a stone’s throw away from United’s ‘Theatre of Dreams’. Or if the nightlife is more your scene, there are plenty of options including the infamous LGBT scene in Canal Street. As well as that, there are some great art galleries in the form of the aptly named Manchester Art Gallery and the Lowry, which has a shopping centre right next to it. So what better excuse to go on a shopping spree? With sites such as Promo Codes For, you can get a whole host of discounts from loads of high street names. Places such as Currys-PC World and Camera King have some great discount codes, so why not treat yourself to a new camera to snap all the sights?
