Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
The Trail is marked as friendly for wheelchairs and pushchairs - there is one set of steps on the route but there is also a nearby accessible slope.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that this is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Shaw Street and Dutton Street (M3 1EU) which are just behind the AO Arena and a minute walk away from the station. Or why not try one of Manchester's fantastic Park and Ride services? The Trail start is also perfectly placed for access via the tram or train.
There are some fantastic events in Manchester's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Manchester Visitor Information.
There are public toilets available in the Royal Exchange Arcade which is just before Clue 13. There is also a myriad of cafes, restaurants, pubs and other eating establishments along the way.
Why not make a day of it by taking a look inside Manchester Cathedral or by visiting one of Manchester's fantastic attractions, like the Science and Industry Museum or the People's History Museum? You could even try our other Manchester Trails to uncover more twisting tales about this amazing city!
