Heritage walks

Trace the surprising and enlightening history of Salford, from the industrial revolution to the present day.

Exercise your body and mind and discover the hidden history of the city on our friendly and informal heritage walks.

Salford has a famous heritage to be proud of, from the Tudor age, through the industrial revolution to 20th century pioneers. This programme of heritage walks, run by Salford Heritage Services, gives an insight into the city's history, brought to life by experienced guides.

Step out and discover Salford's towns and villages, landmark buildings, people and their stories. You may think you know Salford, but these walks will explore the often unknown, quirky, but always interesting facts.

Heritage walks are a great way of getting some exercise, meeting new people and discovering more about the city. The walks are suitable for all ages and are on even ground, however not suitable for wheelchair users or pushchairs.

So lace up your walking shoes and step out for a fun and fact-filled walk!
