Salford

A separate city across the Irwell - MediaCityUK, The Lowry and the oldest free library in the UK.

Salford

Salford starts across the river from Manchester city centre and stretches out to the Quays, where media buildings, theatres and waterfront walks change the pace completely.

The Lowry, MediaCityUK and Salford Museum and Art Gallery make it one of the strongest culture days near town. Peel Park and the old library add a quieter civic layer.
