| | | A region of stunning countryside and coastline, historic and fashionable cities, five National Parks and its own magical island...The Kingdom of the Isle of Man. A region that begins with Roman occupation through Viking, Norman, Medieval and Victorian times and extends to the vibrant culture of today. |  |
Manchester International Airport is the gateway to the North and to England's Northwest region, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, the Rolls Royce, the first passenger trains, great soccer clubs and the Beatles! |  |
| The region is dominated by the great Victorian cities of Manchester and Liverpool, two of England's most dynamic spots, with grand old architecture alongside modern museums, art galleries, restaurants and a thriving nightlife. | |
| In Manchester, look out for the new Lowry Gallery complex or take a trip to sporting legend at Old Trafford, home of Manchester United Soccer Club. |
| No trip to Liverpool would be complete without a Magical Mystery Tour of the Fab Four's famous haunts, but also check out the Maritime Museum or take a ferry across the Mersey from the renovated waterfront. |
| The magnificent Roman city of Chester, with its distinct black and white Tudor architecture and Norman cathedral, is the heart of Cheshire, a county rich in gardens and manor houses including Tatton Park with its wonderful annual flower show. |
| Travel through the Ribble Valley in Lancashire and follow the Pendle Witches Trail to medieval Lancaster Castle, where the witches stood trial. |
There's plenty of golf here, too, at Lytham St Anne's and the elegant resort of Southport. Blackpool with its Pleasure Beach and its world famous Illuminations is Britain's most popular seaside resort. |
