As a guide to the area, the plane came in over the southern part of the Peak District (part of the Pennines that stretch from a bit north of Birmingham up to near the Scottish Border. There are some gaps where east west roads exist. There are lots of moorland and sheep. More northerly parts are the Lake District (train from Manchester Airport), Forest of Bowland (empty but Dunsop Bridge is reputedly the geographic centre of Great Britain, nice cafe and peaceful bench, watching the ducks), Yorkshire Dales. The plane would have come in north of Greater Manchester. You may have caught glimpses in the distance of The Lake District, of Haworth (home of the Bronte sisters), Holmfirth (home of Last of the Summer Wine sitcom), Sheffield (once home of steel mills), near the end Whaley Bridge and Chapel-en-le-Frith (some of my rich ancestors came from here!), Buxton (an old spa town with renovated Opera House £2.00 bus journey on the 199 bus from Manchester Airport, every half hour, lots of pubs), Stockport (once a hat making centre, busily rebuilding), then the Tatton Arms pub (est 1840) just before landing. Welcome to the North.
@@grahamtowers5513 I bet you're one of those people who judge Manchester just by what Piccadilly 'Gardens' looks like. True, that area is crap but walk round a bit more, look up at some of the fabulous architecture and see how much cleaner the buildings are compared to fifty years ago. If you are 67 you may remember how much of a shit hole the bus shelters in Piccadilly were in the sixties when they were full of tramps and the whole place stunk of urine. I do.
@@grahamtowers5513 You sound like a grumpy old man who likes things the way they were. At 73 I'm a 'grumpy' old man myself 🙂but one who likes modern architecture. I've lived in and around Manchester since 1976 and I think the city has undergone a huge transformation since the Beetham Tower was built in c2006. I've witnessed countless dilapidated warehouses and derelict land replaced by tall sleek tower blocks. Maybe you're someone who doesn't like modern architecture? Each to his own I suppose.
Yes , this is a standard room . I later recognized because the building is on the mountain, if you have a room at the back of the building then high floors are still ground 😮😂
the breakfast was very nice and with many options, however, i did that only one day. on the other days i went for a breakfast in some of the coffees in the city center. It is even a better experience especially if you have time and wanna enjoy a long breakfast
