Overview

SLOW WALK – 2 hours max around Salford Quays. Starting from outside The Lowry Theatre we will walk towards the waterfront area of Media city passing by the Media city metro stop, Blue Peter Garden and through the Piazza (open area space) with good views of the docks and various multi use buildings there. After crossing over the bridge towards the Imperial War museum north we will cross back along the Millennium bridge and turn right along the ‘Salford Riviera’ again with good views of the Manchester Ship Canal returning back to the Lowry Theatre.
