Salford Quays OR Manchester Airport Runway Park

Manchester Airport Runway Park: Adjacent to the busy runways of Manchester Airport, the Runway Park park’s raised viewing area means you can stand literally just a few metres away from the planes as they go past! The park is also home to a variety of retired planes, including the spectacular supersonic airliner, Concorde G-BOAC; and former RAF military spy plane, Nimrod. There’s also a DC-10, Avro RJX and a retro Trident airliner, offering a glimpse of what flying was like in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to a large picnic area, there is also the RVP coffee house, a play area and The Aviation Shop, which stocks a range of plane-related souvenirs, suitable for children through to the more serious aircraft enthusiasts.

Salford Quays: The Quays is Greater Manchester's unique waterfront destination, situated just 15 minutes by tram from Manchester city centre. Shopping, sport, art, drama, history and truly world-class architecture - you name it and you'll find it at The Quays. Whether you're a shopaholic or just someone who likes a bargain, the opening of the Quayside Media City has made the Quays a mecca for the discerning shopper with big-name brand shops and stores offering discount prices - up to 70 per cent lower than the high street - all year round.
