GM Ringway Stage 1 – Manchester City Centre to Sale Water Park
Stage 1 of the GM Ringway takes you from the buzz of Manchester city centre to the green calm of Sale Water Park — a surprisingly scenic escape that starts right in the heart of the city. Expect canal-side paths, a bit of urban charm, a touch of industrial history, and a lot more nature than you’d think. Whether you’re just stretching your legs or starting the whole 186-mile trail, this first section is a great way to dip your toes into Greater Manchester’s walking network.
