This is a guide giving the layout, landmarks and history of running routes around a vibrant city with a love for sport but edged with an almost forgotten amount of beauty. 'On The Run Around Manchester" is a running guide to one of Britain's most sporting cities with a view to coaxing more natives and newcomers to love the lands nearby and indeed labour along them Perhaps because of its industrial history or recent history for nightlife, Manchester is not often associated with glorious countryside. Yet nearby there are the Pennine Hills, the Peak District National Park and the Cheshire Plains. The book includes stunning photographs and gives directions and ideas about where to run but also includes some history, such as information about the Bronze Age finds on Crompton Moor. There are almost 50 routes including coverage of the sweeping greenery of Lyme Park, which was the setting to Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth.
