Irlam Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Mossland, Irlam, Manchester. The moss here is mostly reclaimed as farmland. It shows a drainage ditch typical of this type of land. The picture was taken from the minor road that just enters the NE corner of the square (SJ 709 939) and shows the view to the SW, where the plantation of New Moss Wood has been created. This being part of the Red Rose Forest project (see www.redroseforest.co.uk for info.)

The Old River During the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal several sections of the River Irwell (which was canalised between Manchester and the point where it joined the Mersey near here)remained after its course was straightened. This is a picture of one of these sections, known locally as The Old River. Taken on a cold January day with ice on the surface.

The room was very clean and comfortable, and the shower and bathroom facilities were exceptional. The only minor negative was that I could hear the building's air-con/heating system all night which was very loud. I did not mention it as I was only staying for one night

Hotel was soo clean. Freindly helpful staff. My apartment 2 bedroom delux was good with fantastic views, my only bug bear was the uncomfortable sofas and the lack of tv channels. However that aside enjoyed my stay and location.
