What are the best places/spots in Greater Manchester for photography?

I'm planning to visit Manchester and surrounding areas on a photography trip, to try some photography with my Nikon 3100 DSLR. Can anyone please give me some pointers to some nice places / towns where I can shoot some cool pics?

There's nothing worth photographing.

The Peak District National Park just outside Manchester is beautiful

Manchester is one of best cities for wandering in to take pictures - so many stunning streets, buildings, canal locations, etc.
I would strongly recommend a short hop to the Salford Quays/ Media City area, by Metrolink tram, or a bus - ride up Oxford Road to the Museum, the Whitworth Park/ Manchester Royal Infirmary area to see fine red brick architecture, then a short walk to Platt Fields Park with its elegant Georgian hall, now the Costume Museum

Someone must have spat in poor guiri's beer once in our great city… Any chance to knock us… Based on what we ask… GM is a varied place… Have the cityscape of Manchester City Centre ( Town Hall/Albert Square, Midland Hotel, Corn Exchange (Triangle), Royal Exchange, Beetham Tower etc etc etc… ) and Salford Quays etc… And country areas, out towards places like Haigh Hall, in Wigan, areas north of Bolton, Ramsbottom in Bury etc… NOT forgetting the Moors above Oldham and Ashton and Dunham, out by Altrincham… Heaton Park… THE largest municipal park in Europe and just 10 minutes from the city centre?! Even some unlikely places, like CURRY MILE, in Rusholme lend themselves to photographing surely? An area with 2.6 million IS a pretty varied place… Try telling that to guiri in the spanish sun… Is very aging on the old skin though!

PEAK DISTRICT is CLOSE but NOT in GM as such…
