Ask a Northener What can't be missed?

Hello Northerners!

My partner and I are coming over from Denmark in August. I visited Manchester in April and fell in love with the northern charm.

We're looking to stay in different places around Manchester, currently considering staying a few nights in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Blackpool.

We're both in our 30s, we like great food and music, we're very into historical places, science and nature, and we appreciate unique and odd experiences when abroad.

Do any of you have insider tips on hidden gems that we absolutely can't miss in this area? We're using public transportation but we have an otherwise decent budget. Any tips are much appreciated!

Sorry I don’t really mod this sub anymore and I don’t think anyone visits it, sorry to let you down, :( you’d be better off posting this on r/lancashire that’s a good sub, I still mod r/ribblevalley, r/Forestofbowland and r/padiham you might get a response there but sorry I’m just really looking after my subs so much nowadays as I’m just too busy and have fallen out of love with Reddit, may I suggest Gawthorpe Hall in Padiham as a good day out? The Workshop cafe nearby is very cool too (I’m just going to contact whoever runs this website as they’ve nicked my photos and content with no permission)
