#manchestertrip I've just been to the Castlefield Viaduct in Manchester- a piece of history right in the middle of town. 🏰 The location, hidden away in Castlefield, is a real treasure. It's like peeking into Manchester's industrial past. The red-brick arched bridge of the viaduct is iconic, forming a lovely setting for walking along Bridgewater Canal. Guided tours expose its engineering wonders, a must for architecture fans. 🚶♂️ Next, head over to the nearby Wharf Pub for an ale by the canal – ideal capper to a walks through history! Highly recommended for a heritage combination with relaxation. You won’t regret visiting. 👍 #uk #Manchester #traveladdict

Explored the historic charm of Castlefield Viaduct with the National Trust, where each arch narrated tales of Manchester's industrial legacy. "Bricks and Bridges" unfolded, revealing the engineering marvel that stood as a testament to the city's past. The canal below mirrored the reflections of brickwork, creating a visual poetry of old and new. As I strolled along the towpath, the echoes of the industrial revolution whispered in the wind. Castlefield Viaduct, not just a structure but a heritage gem, cradling the history of Manchester within its arches. #CastlefieldHeritage #NationalTrustJourney 🏰🌉
