We were a bit disappointed with Manchester: unlike Leeds & Birmingham there were no Champagne bars with moorings.
The Ashton & Rochdale Canals were also very urban, not always pretty to look at, and full of locks.
Castlefield, in Manchester, is a fabulous place to moor, surrounded by some very nice places to eat (I recommend the barbecue bar next to the bottom lock on the Rochdale.)
But heading West out of Manchester involves the very pretty and completely lock-free Bridgewater Canal - the oldest on the network and easily one of the nicest.
