It's completely free to visit with lots of walks nearby
Liverpool Castle, located near Rivington Reservoir, is a hidden gem 30 minutes from Manchester, offering a free, intriguing day out. The castle, a replica of an original 13th-century structure in Liverpool, was built as a folly in the 1920s and features half-built towers and ruined walls. Surrounded by woodland and with walking paths nearby, it’s an ideal spot for families during half-term.
