Manchester in $480s-$490s RT

There's more to England than just London! And if it's a full-scale tour of the country you're after, Manchester might be the best starting point you can find.

Once you've admired the gothic architecture of the Ryland Library and grabbed a bite at Ancoats, you can hop a train in basically any direction and catch the best of the UK.

Immediately to the west? Every Fab Four attraction you could want. A couple hours southeast? The verdant hills and valleys of the Peak District. Just a few hops over and down you've got Wales (and its stunning National Parks), and Scotland's not too far out of reach either.

Hell, you could even take a day trip to London if you just can't let the capital go, but don't want to shell out for those hotel prices. 

And it all starts with one cheap flight to Manchester :-)
