DAY TRIPPING FROM MANCHESTER CITY

While Manchester City is packed with exciting attractions and activities that are sure to entertain you for the duration of a short holiday or city break, there are many interesting excursions and day trips in the greater Manchester area that might be of interest. Use Manchester as a base for further exploration of Northern England, or just escape from the city for an afternoon. Take advantage of your cheap rental car from Argus Car Hire and see what else the north of England has to offer. The following are some great ideas for day trips from Manchester city;

1. Blackpool.

A return day visit to Blackpool is easily done with the speed and freedom of your low cost Argus Car Hire rental car. Blackpool is a delightfully kitsch seaside resort that has long been the seaside escape for people in the north west of England. It lies approximately 60 miles from Manchester city, an easily drivable distance. The town is crowded and busy, with a great deal of entertainment on offer - funfairs and roller coasters, restaurants and bars - Blackpool is purpose built for fun.

A cheap day out is no problem in Blackpool - after all, the town has always been famous as a low cost holiday option for people all over England.

2. The Lake District.

The Lake District in northwest England is a beautiful rural escape, ideal for a break from the bright lights and heaving crowds in Manchester city. It is a huge area containing many separate parks, the most visited of which is the Lake District National Park. Beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife and a tranquil atmosphere make the Lake District a superb day trip from Manchester, and only 1½ hours in your Argus Car Hire rental.

Apart from the many lakes, the landscape features mountain peaks, crags and fells, and miles of walking and hiking trails.

3. Knowsley Safari Park.

Located around 40 miles from Manchester Airport, the Knowsley Safari Park is an ideal day trip for anyone traveling with kids. You can drive through the 450-acre park in your rental car and see huge Indian Tigers, a pride of lions, several types of monkey and baboon, reptiles and rodents, elephants, camels and much more. Younger visitors will be delighted with the petting zoo, and the park also features amusements, a miniature railway and a sea lion show.

The park is relatively cheap to visit with an admission cost of £11 for adults. Children and seniors pay less, and there are special discount prices for groups.

4. Liverpool City

Ok, this is not exactly a rural escape, but the city of Liverpool is well worth seeing and if you have the time and the freedom of a rental car, it is a highly recommended day trip. About 40 miles from Manchester City Centre, the city of Liverpool is as exciting and bustling as Manchester, but with a different feel.

The Albert Docks are a superb attraction and a great base from which to further explore Liverpool, as they are well clearly signposted from most areas in the city. Visit the 'Beatle's Experience' Museum here to see the history of the Fab Four, before having a low cost lunch in one of the many restaurants or cafés. If it's lashing rain, the Docks are the perfect place to be, being almost totally covered.
