GM Ringway - Greater Manchester's Walking Trail

The GM Ringway is Greater Manchester’s walking trail. Covering all ten boroughs of the city-region, the trail explores an astonishing variety of landscapes, including parks, waterways and beautiful countryside.

Easily accessed by public transport, each of the trail’s 20 stages offers a unique walking experience. The GM Ringway visits some of the region's most iconic landscapes, including historic canals, the Mersey Valley, the Peak District National Park, the South and West Pennines, and the new 'Flashes of Wigan and Leigh' National Nature Reserve.

We host walks along the GM Ringway trail from step-free, accessible short walks and beginners walking sessions where you can take your first step to challenging hilly hikes, and everything in between. You will find family-friendly, mindfulness, nature-filled walks and history walks to really capture the imagination of the whole family. Our mission is to get more people enjoying the spectacular landscape and places in Greater Manchester which are all accessible by public transport.

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or looking for a leisurely stroll, the GM Ringway offers something for everyone. So why not lace up your boots and explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Greater Manchester?
