Travelling around the North of England

Visit 4 cities across 8-days with the Freedom of the North West Experience  

Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds & Chester, four dynamic cities in the North of England, founded on the forces of traditional industry and now being defined by a bold cultural renaissance. Nowhere else in England is there such a strong concentration of iconic urban destinations undergoing transformation. Through art, music, literature, theatre, dance, architecture, cafes, restaurants, nightlife, festivals and events, these cities offer experiences housed in richly varied regenerated environments. 

Each city is naturally unique and has its own personality, yet as a group they combine to deliver a compelling travel offer that is culturally rich and effortlessly experienced. 

All the cities are walkable and offer a range of accommodation, from boutique hotels to well-known brands, alongside high street and independent shopping, and a vibrant food and drink scene. 

Witness the transformation for yourself and soak up the culture, heritage, history and regeneration of England’s northern cities. 

Beginning in any city, rail services connect Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Chester with frequent, direct routes into the heart of each destination. Rover tickets, such as the ‘Freedom of the North West Rover’, offer flexible travel across the region, allowing unlimited journeys within a set area over a number of days. This provides a convenient and cost-effective way to explore multiple destinations across the North West at your own pace.
