Stage 20 of the GM Ringway - Greater Manchester's long-distance trail - connects Stretford with the city centre via a series of largely traffic-free waterside paths. The route. quite different in character from Stage 1 of the trail, includes some little-known green spaces and an astonishing series of museums and heritage sites from every age, making it a worthwhile full-day outing.

Various revisions to the route have been made during 2023 and 2024 to utilise the new Princes Bridge across the Irwell and, most recently, to simplify the route through the city centre.

Highlights include:

- The vibrant waterside attractions of Salford Quays
- The Grade I-listed Ordsall Hall, a 15th-century manor house surrounded by Elizabethan gardens
- Riverside paths along the Irwell, the surprisingly peaceful waterway that separates the cities of Manchester and Salford
- A wander between green and traffic-free spaces of the city centre, including optional short loops to explore Castlefield's Roman gardens and fort and the Medieval Quarter.

A shortcut is shown in the city centre for those who wish to save some of the sightseeing for another day.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
