Alex Foxfield
September 2, 2025, Mamucium Roman Fort

Partially reconstructed and open to the public as part of Castlefield's Roman Gardens, Mamucium is a must for history buffs. Originally founded in AD 79, the fort was mostly levelled during the Industrial Revolution to make way for infrastructure projects.

Paddington Bank is a great spot to sit or stroll on the River Mersey. It's well paved and connects to other trails to lengthen your route.
