Beech Road Chorlton, Manchester
Creative TouristAsk anyone what the trendiest street in Chorlton is and they’ll all give you the same answer.
Beach Road is a leafy, cosmopolitan area offering a laid-back mix of gift shops, independent outfitters, restaurants, pubs and parks. It made a bit of a national name for itself a few years ago as, allegedly, the street that sells more copies of the Guardian than any other outside London. Whether that’s true or not, it gives you a taste of the liberal attitude you’ll find here.
All in all it’s just a really nice place to visit, especially in the summer months, when the beer gardens fill up and there’s a festival vibe going on around Chorlton Green. Prop yourself outside the Horse and Jockey pub on those days and watch the world go by. You’ll find it hard to grumble.
