Explore Eccles

A view of Eccles town centre showing a pedestrian street lined with trees, shrubs and a mix of modern and traditional buildings. A tall residential tower rises in the background beneath a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Find out more about Eccles’ unique heritage and take time to explore the town centre’s green spaces with our programme of walks and activities.

Whether you are a long-standing resident, new to the area or just keen to find out more about Eccles, join our guided walks this autumn and winter.

Our next walk takes place on Monday 28 September with more to come soon.

Eccles Heritage Tour

Join local heritage expert Mark Charnley for a short walk down Eccles' main thoroughfare, from the train station to Eccles Cross.

Find out about the world’s first inter-city railway, an ancient church, the banning of the Eccles Wakes and more, including the origins of that famous confection, the Eccles cake!

The event is free, but places are limited and booking is essential.
