Manchester Weekend Walkers lead public transport walks into fantastic countryside all year round.
Catch the tram to Prestwich and walk back to Manchester through woodland and parks, following the route of the canal and the river. Not too demanding as mostly downhill so should be suitable if you're less experienced but dress for the weather and be prepared for muddy paths.
No dogs apart from registered assistance dogs.
